Have you tried the file system copy and paste method I outlined?  Did it work?  If it didn't work or doesn't meet your needs, please clarify.

I didn't try copy and paste because there must be a ton of files, sub directories and the sub-sub directories none of them  easily readable. To accurately cut an paste would be a nightmare. As an example, the following files and directories are under the .icedove/e7yi94cf.default directory:

    abook-1.mab            downloads.sqlite           mailViews.dat        secmod.db
    abook.mab               extensions                   mimeTypes.rdf       session.json
    addons.sqlite            extensions.ini               panacea.dat           signons.sqlite
    blocklist.xml              extensions.rdf             permissions.sqlite  startupCache
    Cache                       extensions.sqlite          persdict.dat           training.dat
    cert8.db                    folderTree.json             places.sqlite          traits.dat
    chromeappsstore.sqlite  global-messages-db.sqlite  places.sqlite-shm   urlclassifier3.sqlite
    compatibility.ini          history.mab                 places.sqlite-wal     urlclassifier.pset
    compreg.dat             key3.db                       pluginreg.dat          virtualFolders.dat
    content-prefs.sqlite    localstore.rdf             prefs.js                   webappsstore.sqlite
    cookies.sqlite             lock                            search.json             xpti.dat
    directoryTree.json      Mail                             search.sqlite

The directories are in bold face. Under the Mail directory are the following directories:

    incoming.verizon-1.net 
    incoming.verizon.net
    Local Folders 
    smart mailboxes


Under the incoming.verizon-1.net directory (as an example) are the following files:

    Drafts          filterlog.html  Inbox.msf               popstate.dat      Sent.msf  Trash.msf
    Drafts.msf   Inbox             msgFilterRules.dat  Sent                  Trash

I need some kind of a tool to merge the messages and it needs to be programmed by someone that knows a lot more about the innards if Icedove than I do. I would assume that the Import / Export tools should do this but it is not intuitively obvious how to use them. If someone knows how to use the Import tools I could really use their help.
