That is a method fraught with thorns, as you say. The best method is to save 
each email as a .mbox file and to then use the import tool to import an 
entire folder of .mbox files. This works flawlessly, but unfortunately, the 
imported emails are put into temporary folders, instead of into the inbox 
directory, meaning one must manually move them. That can be tedious.

I never had that problem, although the spam filter did give me problems. Im 
my case, all incoming mail was tagged as spam. I ended up disabling the spam 
filter altogether and sorting the mail manually.

Now that I have migrated to Fedora 16α, these issues have no longer been 
problems (although I have not enabled the spam filter, yet).
