Hmm, it looks a little tricky, but http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/faq says that you can import Mbox files into Thunderbird. It says that you do it by copying an Mbox file to the "Mail/Local Folders" directory within your "profile directory". By the way, /var/mail/username files are Mbox files. So you might end up running something like this: The shell command would end up looking something like this: cp /var/mail/username ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/blergh.default/Mail/Local\ Folders Then restart Thunderbird.
