[SOLVED] mbox file. need help open & organize/view it

hi! i download my entire hotmail account in a mbox file with GetLive, but now really i dont know what to do with it, i mean, i want to open it and be capable of browse my mails to search for some specific mails, i dont know how and with what programs i can do this, because i try to open it in thunderbird but seems that it cant open it...

can i convert that mbox file in a maildir structure? i read that maildir is best because you have a file for every mail instead of a big file with all of them...

Thanks!
