  Looking in File-> Import (in version 3.7.5), the options shown are:

     - Import mbox file
     - Export to mbox file
     - Export selected to mbox file

I.e. no mention of anything but mbox.  
   (My Kmail email message base is in maildir form.)

'Add mailbox' offers no choice other than 'MH'(which I see is "similar" to
maildir.) 

   So if I started with MH, there would likely be problems returning to a
'maildir' world, as claws will apparently only export as 'mbox'.

Perhaps there are mbox<-->maildir converters around, but I have not seen enough
yet to convert me to the claws world (which does otherwise look quite neat).
