Mail Client Alternative with ability to import existing accounts and old emails?

The free mail app Thunderbird can import Mail messages, but you will need to setup the new account manually.
Changed from macbook pro to mac pro and migrated from time machine update. Now the search function in the native mac mail client doesn't work anymore. No matter what i type it in wont show any historical emails. Have to look through each account manually.
I think so. Postbox is based on Thunderbird but has many more features and remains in active development.
Postbox been my default mail client for a long time now.
I'd recommend troubleshooting that system problem a little further. You might want to re-index the entire system volume via this method.
Could any postbox user advise if the feature in Apple mail to allow email to be Flagged is available in Postbox?
Most of the other capabilities in Apple mail are in postbox except cannot locate this feature which I use all the time to identify the exact email I need to reference again. With a choice of colours I can easily identify the mails I want, simply quickly.
Having a lot of issues with apple mail on OSX 10.7.5.. Reading through issues a lot of people are facing does not make me want to upgrade to Mavericks.
Especially for email.
Thanks

Airmail may be able to help. Download the free beta version off their site to try it out first.
MailMate will import your account directly from Mail. It's IMAP only so if you have POP or Exchange accounts those cannot be used with MailMate.

Thanks for all suggestions. The weird thing is spotlight search works for mail, but the actual search function in mail delivers 0 results each and everytime.
Re-indexed mailboxes and tried every suggestion given so far.. no luck.
It gets even weirder as i did a time machine backup and cloned it on my macbook pro. The search in mail works fine there, just cant get it on the MAC PRO LATE 2013 to run.. nothing but trouble with this machine

Just double checking...you tried my suggestion from above (doing a complete reindex of the hard drive)?
