Migrating saved emails from profile

My laptop crashed, requiring that I take it back to factory defaults and start all over. Before I took it back, I saved all (I think) critical files. That included saving my profile for Thunderbird. I had a lot of emails stored in folders under my two email addresses. When I tried to use the old profile, it wouldn't work. I have recreated my folders and subfolders in my inbox, but is there any way to extract the emails from the old profile and insert them into the new folders? Thank you.
