dovecot - Aug 2015 - How to import an mbox to an existing user as a new mailbox

Greetings. I have a bunch of mbox files that I want to import to an 
existing user, each into a new mailbox. That is, I want to import the 
file project1.mbox to user Foo, into a newly-created mailbox called 
"Project 1". Is there a dovecot tool to do this on the server?

do you have access to the file system of the mail storage? Can you call 
doveadm on the server? What mail storage do you use now, Maildir, mbox, 
... ?

Sorry for being unclear earlier. Yes, yes, mbox.

So, I take it this is a doveadm command. :-) Will this be just
"import",
or a combination of "mailbox" and "import"?
