After transfer from XP to Win7 I can't see out Outlook Express folder

I am converting from running Outlook Express on Windows XP to running Thunderbird on Windows 7. I installed Thunderbird on my XP computer and ran the import from Outlook Express which created the Outlook Express Import folder which does contain all the emails I wish to retain. I installed Thunderbird on my Windows 7 computer and copied the profile folder over from Windows XP. Since the profile names were different I changed the value in the profile.ini file as well as in the settings parameter in Thunderbird to match this copied value. However, I do not see the Outlook Express folder from Thunderbird. If I navigate the folder structure under the profile I do see the Outlook Express import folders. Any help in gaining access to this data would be helpful. Since I still have all the data on my XP box I can if needed reinstall Thunderbird.

I tried what you recommended and really see no difference. Let me add something that may help. When I installed Thunderbird on the Win 7 PC it did create a profile (but obviously with a different name from the one created on XP). The changes I mentioned making was to point the Win 7 version to use the profile from XP. But I just thought of one thing, on Win 7 the path would use AppData but on XP it would be Application Data. I think that because if does not have the same path names it does not see the Outlook folder. So if the Thunderbird on my Win 7 PC is not fixable, what is the best way to transfer the profile and all my old folders from XP over to Win 7?
