Importing mailbox - no valid mail files found

Question

Hi
I'm having problems importing a mailbox from my back-up on a CD-ROM. I click on 'Import Mailbox' and choose 'mail for os x' and then the folder which ends '*.mbox'. I then get an error which says, 'No valid mail files found'. Within that mailbox I can see messages ending *.emix but it just won't work.
Can anyone help me to restore these emails?
Thanks.

Back up one directory level and select the Mailboxes folder (/Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/) instead. You should then get a listing of available mailboxes from which you can import. Uncheck those you don't want to import.
Why reward points?(Quoted from Discussions Terms of Use.)
The reward system helps to increase community participation. When a community member gives you (or another member) a reward for providing helpful advice or a solution to their question, your accumulated points will increase your status level within the community.
Members may reward you with 5 points if they deem that your reply is helpful and 10 points if you post a solution to their issue. Likewise, when you mark a reply as Helpful or Solved in your own created topic, you will be awarding the respondent with the same point values.
