I'm migrating an archive of mail from another mail provider into a cPanel imap account.
The only formats they provide for exporting the archive is as a zip archive of .eml files or as a .pst. The archive is not accessible as an imap account so imapsync isn't an option.
These are large files (1.5+ gigs each) and there are going to be quite a few of them, maybe 20-30+. It's going to take a v. long time to extract .eml's from zip locally and import via Thunderbird or similar and/or upload .pst using Outlook. I can get the files onto the server, but I'm struggling to find software (command line tool) or any other method of converting/importing them into a cPanel imap account on the server.
Has anyone any advice, workarounds or found a way of either:

Has anyone any advice, workarounds or found a way of either:
- Converting the .zip of .eml's directly into a cPanel imap account inbox on the server; or
- Inflating the .eml's from the .zip on the server and then doing the above; or
- Converting the .pst on the server for import into cPanel imap account.
