Importing files to mail from that folder will not work, those are not the .mbox extension files mail uses. Your files are in user/"myname"/library/mail. When I get info on the mail folder in cache it is 20 MB file size, whereas a single mbox file like my inbox is over 200 MB. If you right click an mbox you will find it is a package (view package contents) with the actual mbox file inside along with some indexing files.
