Just a couple of ideas:
* What happens if you try to open those mbox files with say, mutt in
order to see if the Evolution exporter is to blame?
mutt -f mbox
* Maybe you don't need to export the mailboxes at all. For example, when
I was using Kmail, it stored the messages in maildir format by
default. Could it be the same for Evolution?
