I am asking this here, as my system is F20 with Thunderbird 24.7.0.

I have downloaded an month's archived messages for Centos-arm and want to import them into Thunderbird where I could then respond to them more easily.

I tried the Tools>Import but when I select email, nothing is listed in the dialog box. So how might I do the import? Where might i find instructions?

Where did you fetch them from?
When form are they in?

For myself, the easiest way to import lots of messages is for them to be in UNIX mbox format (normal UNIX flat file containing messages separated by "From " lines); that is what Thurderbird uses.

Shout down Thunderbird. Move ("mv -i", to avoid accidents) the mbox into your Thunderbird Local Folders directory with a sensible name. Start Thunderbird. Your should have a new local folder, with which you can do as you like.

Disclaimer: I prefer to use mutt.
