Tiger only hintI do not know if other people have had this problem, but I previously not been able to import mail boxes (both IMAP and regular) into Mail 2.0, even when they have been exported with Mail 2.0.

I finally found a solution. All you need to do is create a new mail box locally (On My Mac) from within Mail. Now, using the Finder, open your exported mailbox (in your user's Library -> Mail -> Mailboxes folder) and select the Messages folder. Copy that Messages folder into the new mailbox in Finder. Back in Mail, select the new mailbox, and choose Rebuild from the Mailboxes menu.

There you have it, all your mail.
