I don't know what are the capabilities of your e-mail client, but in the 
event it can handle IMAP accounts, the easiest way to transfer the e-
mails from one MUA to another, is by setting up a local IMAP server and 
manually copy the e-mails from one application to another.

As IMAP server handles its own maildir/mbox format, you do not have to 
worry about that on the client side :-)

Then, once all the e-mails are transferred or backed up into the new MUA, 
you can archive them (if they are not being actively accessed) and 
perform any search within the e-mails using standard tools.
