One difficulty with NeXT mailboxes (.mbox file packages) is that the
attachments are detached, are stored in separate files.

I don't know a tool that would put them back in the mailbox file, but
you might be lucky.

On the other hand, the easiest way to fill an imap account would be to
use Mail.app, menu File/Import, to import the mbox file (the file
inside the .mbox file package containing the bodies of the messages)
first locally, in a Mail.app mailbox, and then copy it over to the
imap server.
