Hi, yes, I believe the old methods do not work, because of the different formats. I would try: a) copy Thunderbird MBOX files into a new directory (you can do it directly in the Thunderbird directory too, but better to have backups and keep private Thunderbird files to Thunderbird only); b) in Evolution's menu: File->New->Mail Account, enter some fake email address, disable Lookup (at the bottom), then click Next and pick type "Standard Unix mbox spool directory" and point it to the directory you copied Thunderbird files to; continue the wizard with None sending type and that's it. c) once you finish the new account wizard you should see your folder structure from Thunderbird (as copied to the new location) in Evolution and you either can use it as is, or copy it into On This Computer. This is untested, I just think that it should work. Always make backups of your data before any such change, because you are playing with internal files of respective application(s).
