I think you want to create a custom account for that in the settings. See
attached screenshot.
I have never seen that requester, where is it?
Alternatively, you can likely copy your mail onto the existing local
maildir hierarchy.
That looks like this:

And I did get it to import that to a hidden mysql database. But now I have half
the screen height wasted in empty dirs I haven't found the delete button for yet.
Its bad enough I have subs for 47 mailing lists, each with its own folder. 11 lines
of empty folders and they are not deletible.
