There's no import function as such, but if you close thunderbird, and 
copy the text file, "msgFilterRules.dat "there's one per account, e.g.

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\XXXXX.default-release\ImapMail\ACCOUNTNAME\msgFilterRules.dat

you will have "Mail" or "News" for POP3 and NNTP accounts, rather than 
"ImapMail" which is for IMAP4.
