In mbox format subfolders are mapped onto directories in the Unix file
system - so there will be a directory (called the same as the subfolder)
in your original .local/share/evolution/mail/local directory that
contains more mbox files.

You mean Inbox?  If you were running a version of Evolution later than
3.0 then they will be stored in Maildir format in the mail/local
directory used by that copy of Evolution.  If you have that directory
(and sub directories) backed up / copied somewhere, then create a new
account of type Maildir in Evo and point it at the copy, the contents of
that account will contain what you want.
