I did not find an answer but found an acceptable fallback. I created a virgin discourse 2.7.9 instance moved the mail to be imported, [as instructed when importing mailboxes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/importing-mailing-lists-mbox-listserv-google-groups-emails/79773). It effectively imports the mail and by editing the `script/import_scripts/mbox/support/indexer.rb` file I was able to add a few **puts** statements here and there to get more information about the problem.
