I've never used TB so these questions might be crazy ...

Is TB able to import a set of mails stored in a folder somewhere 
else on a machine?

If it is, is that able to be scheduled somehow - eg via cron?

Does TB have filter capabilities that affect what happens with 
mails as they're imported, perhaps separately from mails
that are fetched from somewhere?

If those work, would one need a separate mechanism to get 
the mails currently accumulating in "mail spool" or wherever
into (exported?) a folder from which the import could pick 
them up?

I know that if this affected me I'd be hugely upset having to 
consider abandoning one MUA and learning all the ins&outs
of another one, and would - in the short term anyway - prefer
to find some way of making TB still see the mails concerned.
