Q: How can I read old Inbox+msf backups from Thunderbird?

| Recently I found an old RAR archive of Thunderbird emails from 2003.
Hmm, let's see what is inside. But how? When I create a new email
account in Thunderbird and paste the files to the related mail profile
folder, Thunderbird only shows up 2 emails - but the old 'Inbox' is
more than 300 MB. So something seems to have gone wrong.
Is there a program to read old and possibly partly corrupted
Thunderbird mailfiles?
Thank you all,
Christian

Give the backed up files an .mbx extension and then open the files with
MsgView.
