I try to migrate my local folders from Apple Mail 7.1 to Thunderbird, but I always get the message that there are no messages to import. What's wrong?

Hello AlexGrawe,
Thanks for contacting Mozilla Support. I don't have Mavericks installed to test out this issue, but I've forwarded this thread to our capable Thunderbird Support crew. They should respond once they've taken a look and had a chance to test the issue.
Thanks for your patience.
Cheers, Patrick
Hi AlexGrawe:
Unfortunately this looks like a long standing Thunderbird bug:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688166
There's a manual workaround here that although tedious should work:
This happens in Mac OS 10.8 also. Since I can't import my existing mailboxes into Thunderbird, Thunderbird is useless to me I'm afraid. It's a real deal-breaker :(
I have Mac OS 10.9.2 nows and the problem still exists. I have so many folders that the workaround really makes no sense. Can nobody fix this bug? I would really like to use Thunderbird instead of Mail, like a lot of people probably. But as EricRFMA wrote "It's a real deal-breaker"!
What about exporting the mail from mail as MBOX files and importing those to Thunderbird using the import export tools? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/ Or have apple closed the MBOX door by using a not quite mbox format?
I don't use a Mac and never had, so this is vaporware.
