There's OEClassic that is supposed to import that format.

The best way to export/import mail from/to different mail clients, is:
- the source mails need to be on a MUA that supports IMAP.
- copy the mail to a folder on any IMAP server available (it can be local to
you, not internet).
- on destination machine, copy the mail from the imap server to wherever you
want it.
No need for translation or special import/export functions. Caveat: both originator and destinator softwares need to support IMAP, and you need an intermediate IMAP server.
