Can Thunderbird use existing mailfolders?

[Karl Auer]

Hi there.

After a long time using Evolution, I want to use Thunderbird, basically
because the crypto integration is better.

But: I have  lot of emails in a folder structure in maildir format. With
evolution I just set up an account with the "Receiving emal" "server
type" set to "Mailbox in maildir format", and away it went.

I can't find anything similar in Thunderbird, but I don't know the
software very well yet.

Any suggestions? I'd rather not run an actual local IMAP server, since
all the data is right there....

Regards, K.
