In Thunderbird: You can use 'ImportExportTools' addon extension for importing either mbox files (Importmbox file) or .eml individual emails (import messages).

If you can export emails as .eml files then they can be imported. Otherwise you need to use a converter...pst to mbox.

I've never used a converter, so cannot recommend any particular product. Most you may need to pay for the software, but I did find this: https://www.aid4mail.com/download-free-mbox-converter

Worth checking it out to see if it really is free.

Sorry, it would appear that the converter link converts mbox to eml etc not what you really need.
