[gentoo-user] Read/Import mail

Hi,
this question might be a little bit out of the scope of this mailing list.. 
but anyway:

I need to access some old mail folder. I was using mozilla as mail client at 
the time.
Now I use thunderbird. I couldn't import/read the mail just by creating an 
account and pointing the Local Folder to that old folder.
The extension of mozilla files are .msf while TB ones are .sdb.
Can I solve this using thunderbird or any simple app that I can emerge 
quickly, or will I have to install mozilla just for this?

Thanks,
Fernando.

Yah.. but that didn't work!
Well, I found the mail I needed on other account :)
So I won't need to do this.. at least for now.. but the question is still 
on.. 

Thanks
Fernando

Actually, in 1.0.6, it's now

Extras => Import

(been looking for the Import command for an hour now; knew it had to be
around somewhere, but it's not where it used to be-- or in fact,
anywhere logical-- anymore :) )
