As you kept the mbox's, have you tried to compact the boxes?
I have email going back years on my box with TB and I don't have an
issues over multiple version updates. I do know that if I don't
compact, then I have issues.
I am using Fetchexe to get my mail off the Exchange server and if I
don't compact the mailbox it goes to, after moving the mail, then the
mail will reappear.
Compact would be the same as Evolutions expunge in my books.
