All true, I meant that!
It's definitely maildir. Sorry for the confusion...
Yes it is, I discovered that shortly after posting.
Cheers everybody for all your replies.
The really annoying thing was that I could read all over Google about how Evolution supports maildir but nothing (including the built in help) actually says how to import them.
After a lot of searching I started thinking about the last places I'd expect to see it and found the maildir option as an incoming mail server in the new account dialogue. So then I created another account pointing at my old maildir and then copied the messages to the new folders.
I would have preferred to keep the maildir format as I think it's a bit better. But without setting up two accounts (one for the pop server and one for the maildir) I see no obvious way to do that.
