I'm not sure I understand. Just point it at your mbox. Nothing to
import. Nothing at all is mail reader specific with regard to your
actual email as far as I know. Or did I misunderstand when you mentioned
importing email?

Even if you use fetchmail (I do too), you can fetchmail into maildir
(for example) and have something like dovecot serve it via IMAP. This
can be really handy for remote access.
