Netscape uses UNIX mailbox format, so you should have no problems
importing it using Tools|Import|From UNIX mailboxes.
(Note for Stef: It seems paradox, but to import from Netscape you
should NOT use the import wizard, because the wizard has problems with
the received timestamps. It is perhaps more convenient for importing
folder hierarchies, but otherwise you should import each folder as
UNIX mailboxes...)

RFC822 is not exactly UNIX mailbox (it's similar, the most important
difference is the line starting with "From " like Ming-Li explained).
Plain RFC822 is the MSG format - one file per message...

As Ming-Li already pointed out, try to import the mbx files directly
as UNIX mailboxes, perhaps it works...
