If you need to import email in MBOX format in bulk, refrain from using random software. Insted, use software that maintain the structure of folders and attachment nd does not corrupt the files. Moreover, when working with numerou email, problem with indexing may occur in thunderbird.

Thunderbird's own Import/Export NG add-on handles bulk MBOX imports pretty reliably and keeps folder structure intact. Just make sure to back up the profile first since large imports can take a while and you don't want to redo it if something gets interrupted.

For a large MBOX import I would use a dedicated MBOX import tool because it is much faster than importing each file manually.

For large MBOX files, you can try using a bulk import tool instead of doing it manually. Also keep a backup before importing thousands of emails to avoid data loss.
