I converted my old, 14MB mailx-style "mbox" to an imap folder in pine by

 - getting the "current view" to be that large folder
 - ; a (select all)
 - a s (apply/save)
 - type the name of the destination folder
 - be prepared to wait

also, if want to, you can do an

 - a d (apply/delete)

To delete the source messages.

	select them all (press ; then A) and then type A S and select the
destination folder to which you want to move them
then press X to expunge them from your inbox

You can even sort it some while you are at it:

Create Rules that recognize pieces of mail in the
INBOX and move them to different mailboxes.
