Ignore the other response to your query, that was bad advice.

If you talking about a whole MH mailbox, use /File/Add mailbox/MH... and put
the full path to it in the 'Add mailbox' dialogue.

or...

If you want to add it to your current MH mailbox, create a new folder within
your mailbox in Claws Mail. Then, using your file manager, copy all your
messages into the newly created folder, (the default mailbox location is
~/Mail/). Then, back in Claws Mail, right-click the top-level folder of your
MH mailbox and use 'Rebuild folder tree', and/or 'Check for new folders'
and/or 'Check for new messages'.

Just using 'Rebuild folder tree' will be fine, but if you don't want to do
the rebuild, use the other two depending on whether you copied directories
and files or just files.

If you don't currently have an MH mailbox you will need to add one first.
