I'd be interested in knowing if/how you can do this with other clients, e.g. Thunderbird... – Jonik Oct 20 '09 at 14:09
Almost all IMAP clients let you move mail back and forth from/to the IMAP server. So you would just drag the messages back to IMAP. (Although Thunderbird doesn't auto-move your mail to ~/mbox) – grawity Oct 24 '09 at 9:45

Open the mbox file in mutt (mutt -f ~/mbox or the c key), tag all messages (T), move them back (; s).
