I'm trying to convert my Thunderbird mail to Outlook (.pst), and I need to locate the mbox file/folder. I know where my profile is, but I don't see any .mbox extension in the Mail folder. I'm using a POP3 server in Thunderbird. Thank you.

Thunderbird's mailbox files don't have extensions. So you're looking for Inbox, Sent, Trash etc.

Another way to go about it would be to search for all the files with .msf extensions, create a list of these (dir *.msf > files.txt), strip off the .msf and what you'll be left with is a list of your mbox files. I'll leave it to you to work out how to traverse your nested folders structure; I'm on Linux here and can't experiment with MSDOS-style command lines.
