If the file is of the form file.mbox, remove the .mbox extension, then copy it into the Mail/Local Folders location of the profile, with TB closed. Help/More Troubleshooting, Profile Folder, Open Folder, to open the profile in File Explorer. Restart TB and view the folder under Local Folders in the Folder Pane.
