Thanks guys! I had a whole bunch of sub-folders, etc. on the Thunderbird side, and just copying them straight through to an Import.sbd folder didn't appear to work (it could see all the folders but couldn't access them). So I went back to my XP machine and moved all my mail back into the Inbox and then compacted it. When I copied it across again on the Linux side it just worked.
