It will import both MBOX files and the exported contacts files. Searching using Boolean searches is instantaneous across 2000 messages or 1600 contacts. Importing the files is UNDER 1 sec. If you choose to import into a field-based database, all of the appropriate fields are automatically created for you. It will also place into the archived message the name of any attachment - so all you would have to do is save the attachments to a folder and then you could find them by searching iData. I've also tried Hog Bay and DEVONthink, but both are very slow in comparison. HTML messages archived in iData do NOT contain the HTML, but only the text. Instead there is an indication that this was an HTML mail. The current version is a free Demo good through the end of the year; the software is currently Carbon and is being entirely re-written in Cocoa before the developers will accept money for it. It was previously known as Info Genie by Cassady and Greene, but has reverted back to the original author following the demise of that company. Did I mention that searches are instantaneous? You see the results before your fingers have completely returned from the keys.
