the archives are gziped as i said.
the maibox is in IMAP format..

If by IMAP format you mean that mail is stored on an imap server then you can copy mails from the gzipped archive, which I assume to be mbox, to the server:

Thunderbird AFIAK stores local folders in mbox format, so you can just open the mbox file, mark all and copy to your imap folder and let thunderbird do the hard work.

Another solution is to script it. I made a script two years ago for just that as I migrated all my mail to imap - I'll see if I can find that script, but I think tools are also distributed with cyrus-imap.

Cheers, Erik
