Just as a sidenote and reference: This even works for Thunderbird ->
evolution-migration:
After I searched for quite a while on how to do such a migration, I just
tried copying the content of the folder
"~/.thunderbird/<profile>/Mail/Local Folders" into
~/.evolution/mail/local and tada - it worked. Not perfectly, had to
rebuild some indexes and stuff, but in total it worked fine.

So, if anyone fears about migrating TB -> evolution, that's the way it
works for the mails.

Greetings,
Dominik
