What do I do with mail I have extracted from a PCV file

After a PC failure I have a new PC with Linux Mint installed. I have a PCV backup of my older emails from 2015 (I have downloaded my more recent ones again from AOL and Gmail) and I have extracted these into a new directory. I can see the email directory and files that I need to install into my new Thunderbird setup - the "Inbox" is readable as text - but am not sure what I do with these. I want them stored as local.

What do I do?
