If it is the well-known mbox format, then go to http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/mb2md/ and use the script that you can download there to convert from mbox to maildir format. > Also, I've noticed that, when I first connect to my imap server, the > folders is arranged like > > Inbox > - Drafts > - Sent > - Trash > > but not > > Inbox > Drafts > Sent > Trash > > I have previously use mozilla-mail to first test out my installation for > the server. It is the reason for this? No, the IMAP protocol lets the imap server decide how to organize the mailboxes. The client is responsible for displaying this correctly. AFAIK mozilla does not do this correctly by default but can be tweaked to do so.

Open evolution, and make sure it is configured so that you can you your local mailbox, and your IMAP mailbox. Next, copy each local folder/mail message to the IMAP mailbox.
