I know this isn't a problem you've mentioned, but since Thunderbird stores its 
mail in Berkeley Mailbox Format, (choosing to separate its summary information 
in a parallel file) and I'm sure Evolution would do the same on principle, you 
should be able to simply copy your old mailbox files into Thunderbird's 
structure to have them appear within the program the next time it's opened. 
Thunderbird will build a summary file automatically, the first time it 
encounters them.

P.S. I can't really help with the addresses, but since csv is only a kind of 
text, why not open the file and see if there was a particular reason it barfed - 
perhaps a comma in a recipient name that wasn't escaped, or something. Just an idea.

Oh, here's another idea... try reading the csv file into OpenOffice spreadsheet, 
and see if it looks odd... if not, export it as csv again... whatever!
