Try the 'mboxcvt' tool in the imap-utils package
ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap-utils.tar.Z

I've used it to take archives of large mailing lists/newsgroups (in mbox
format) and feed them into a mailbox on my Cyrus server.

I also believe that these tools might be deprecated and replaced by the
more general 'mailutil' in the UW IMAP distro.
