I cannot import the exported thunderbird mail messages either in their structured folders or as eml
I have had many problems with thunderbird and am getting rather annoyed now.
So, I exported my email messages using the export option and chose the structured folders option. I also exported them as an eml file.
I created a new profile and want to import the messages I exported but cannot find any way. If I try import I can only import from outlook which is out of date now.

I have found out how to do what I want but have final questions:
Is there a limit on the size of the messages and data stored?
Does the size affect the operation (slow down) the program?
Thank you for your prompt assistance.
Edit: I have just remembered one important problem I had:
Having allowed TB to auto. instal settings from outlook I was later unable to find anywhere to change settings such as passwords etc. There was only a one mage manage settings and identities.
Also I have now found a spurious folder which cannot be deleted:

I have had many problems with thunderbird
What problems?
So, I exported my email messages
What are you trying to achieve in the first place?
I had problems with the calendar and events mainly. I never received and notification of new email or events. Enail notification not to much of a worry but event a big worry.
So, I thought I would start again but this time I would manually set up everything insead of auto imports.
I managed to import the calendar but can find no way to import the email messages to my new profile.
I intend to delete to old profile which was set up auto. when my new profile is working. If I cannot be happy with the running of thunderbird I must return to outlook which I used for many years. I am trying to leave all microsoft software.
Install this add-on. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/
You can then import the mbox files (no file extension) from the old profile.
I found that title when reading about importing and I searched addons for it but it was not found.
I have installed it and have been able to import the current inbox.
When I ty to import messages which were saved in separate folders under the inbox all I get so far is a list of folders such as 34SP.com.mozmsgs and China.mozmsgs. Each of the folders has the correct name but are empty!
I have moved the 11 empty folders to trash and am currently looking for a way to import these folders and their contents.
Edit\; they are empty in the mail program but are not empty in the saved file.
