Emails not showing up in folders
In the process of migrating away from Outlook to Thunderbird. Installed Thunderbird and connected to gmail using IMAP easy enough. Used ReliefJet Essentials to convert a PST file to MBOX. That process appeared to go well. Folders were created during the process and folder structures corresponded to the folder structures in the original PST. Each folder also contained corresponding *.mbox files. .mbox file contents looked appropriate when opening with notepad. Problem begins here. My intention was to access the those messages under "Local Folders." Under local folders account settings, I pointed Message Storage 'local directly' to the folder where the directories and .mbox files are stored. After a restart, Thunderbird sees the folders BUT NOT the individuals messages in the folders. What have a done wrong...?

Bad idea. Do not mess with the 'Local Directory' setting unless you know exactly what you're doing. You should restore it to the original path for 'Local Folders', and restart Thunderbird.
You should then see the 'Local Folders' account again in the folder pane.
Now manually replicate the folder hierarchy of parent folders matching the folder structures in the original PST. Close Thunderbird. Note, parent folders have a .sbd suffix in the file system and contain mbox files. Those mbox files then appear as folders in Thunderbird. There can also be a hierarchy of .sbd directories.
Finally, copy the mbox files created by the conversion tool to the corresponding .sbd directories in the file system. Start Thunderbird.
