As far as I know, Thunderbird doesn't import mail from itself.  (The 
import feature is for migrating from other mail programs, from a limited 
selection.)  Copying the mail files into the directory structure is what 
you want.  I would first create a new subfolder where you can drop the 
whole lot without worrying about overwriting existing files.
