Newbie importing old messages from defunct account

just installed it now

I have a directory full of messages exported from thunderbird. I no longer have access to the account, but I need to review the messsages

they are all Whatever-filename.eml

The inbox is in one directory (folder) and the sent messages in a subdirectory. I have imported them now, but all the messages, sent and received, are combined.

How can I separate them out please?

Thanks

You could either “drag the .eml messages from the combined folder to the folders” you want singularly or in a group at a time.

Or you could “right click on the .eml messages” in the combined folder either singular or in a group, and then select “Move to Folder” on the menu and choose the folder you want.
