I'm not sure if there is any better way of doing this, but I can think
of two ways of doing this:
* Use Evolution to "Import" the MBox file into its "Local Folder" (you
could create a different folder too) and empty the existing MBox file,
or,
* Use (apt-cache show) mb2md and convert your Sent folder mbox to a
Maildir.
You can then point Evolution to use the new mbox or Maildir as your Sent
folder. :)

I'm also using ReiserFS. Are you sure that 2G+ files are being handled
correctly? I've faced problems with file that were 1.2G big. Just a
thought. :)
