KMail fails to restore archived mail folder

Recently, I wanted to clean up my online email account to free up space. I did not want to delete my old messages, so I decided to try the KMail (5.7.3) Import/Export feature under the "Tools" menu. I exported an IMAP folder containing fewer than 100 messages to see how well it would work. Accepting the default settings, it created an archive file with "tar.bz2" extension without reporting any errors. However, when I tried to import the archive using the same Import/Export tool I got a "Cannot read file" error message.

I CAN open and view the file using Ark, but that's of little use restoring the mail folder to it's original state. Does anyone have a clue how I can restore my mail folder?
