I had Windows Live Mail on my old computer but when I upgraded to a new computer with Windows 10 that email program wasn't included. I am now using Thunderbird for my emails. I had my files/folders stored with Carbonite. I did a restore and it looks like the folders that I need have been restored but I'm having problems importing them to the Thunderbird email folder that I created under Local Folders. If I right click on the folder I don't get ImportExportTools or Import all messages. What am I doing wrong??? HELP!!

Open Tools/Add-ons/Extensions, type importexport in the search box, Enter.

You can also drag the eml files from a folder and drop them onto a subfolder of Local Folders.
