Please note that I sent a reply to the sender address of the above mail, to
which I got a error notification after 4 days:

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----

Message could not be delivered for 4 days                                       
                                        
Message will be deleted from queue

[I keep the full error notification mail in case you want to have a look.]

Here was my question: Maybe it would be useful if the answer could be in the
Icedove/Thunderbird FAQ ?

Hello.

Could you give me a hint on how to achieve this "import"?                       
                                        
[There is a page on the Cyrus wiki about MBOX migration but all the             
                                        
links to the actual scripts are dead :-/]                                       
                                        
                                                                                
                                        
Thanks,                                                                         
                                        
Gilles
