I solved this problem by using an IMAP server. I had for a time pondered 
the idea of setting up an IMAP server at home to be able to use whatever 
mailer I wanted. The server that also serves IMAP fetches mail from 
different e-mail accounts, the mail is filtered with procmail (that also 
calls spamassassin to get rid of spams, and clamav to get rid of mails 
containing MS-Windows viruses) and then put into appropriate folders. 
Dovecot then serves these folders using IMAP. By doing this, I can use 
whatever mailer I want, using whatever operating system I want. All my 
mails are stored in one place, the IMAP-server.

What has this do with your question? Well, one way to move mail between 
two mailers is to use a IMAP server. You upload the mails from Evolution 
to the IMAP server, and then downloads them into Thunderbird.

If you have a spare computer to act as an IMAP server that could be an 
option, and you could switch between Evolution, Thunderbird, Balsa, 
mutt, or whatever you fancy.

A very condensed information about my system can be found at
