Thunderbird doesn't store all emails in Inbox and > Sent? Depends. If you right click on local folders and create a new folder and then apply filter rules to move matching incoming mails to them then no it wont store them in Inbox. EG I have a folder called tracker in Local Folders and all mails that contain tracker in the subject line are stored there. These are stored in the file "Local Folders/tracker" and not in Inbox. All the mbox files in that directory have no extension so it should be possible to pick them up.
