I am trying to import an IMAP account composed of many folders from Claws Mail internal cache. Claws is unfortunately unable to export all the folders by selecting the root account.

When checking the internal Claws cache folder, each mail is a plain text file named as following:

base_path/My Account/Folder ABC/1
base_path/My Account/Folder ABC/2
base_path/My Account/Folder ABC/3
base_path/My Account/Folder ABC/4

base_path/My Account/Folder DEF/1
base_path/My Account/Folder DEF/2
base_path/My Account/Folder DEF/3

base_path/My Account/Folder X/etc...

I tried to import this structure with different mails reader like KMail and Balsa, but each import failed. I just would like all these mails easily accessible and readable.

Which tool on Linux can I use to import such a structure?
