For a long time I have stored my POP messages in a a Mail folder on drive E:

I am in the process of changing computers and I have the E:\Mail folder on the new PC containing the old messages. I have saved the profile, installed Thunderbird 115, and reinstated the profile, but Thunderbird does not point to the E:\Mail directory.

How can I persuade it to see my massages?
