mbx? For real? Not some weird undocumented thing?
http://www.washington.edu/imap/documentation/formats.txt.html
mbx This is the current preferred mailbox format. It can be
handled quite efficiently by c-client, without the problems
that exist with unix and mmdf formats. Messages are stored in
Internet standard CR LF format.
mbx permits shared access, including shared expunge. It
preserves UIDs, and allows the creation of keywords.
According to this you can install uw-imap and simply copy the mbx
files and it'll work. Not only that, but c-client is a free (C)
library for handling mail messages. Mahogany (a GTK+ based MUA) uses
it, and thus ought to be able to handle mbx as well.
A google search also found a spec for mbx which I've tossed up at
http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/mbx.txt.
Worst-case scenario (if the files really are mbx and can be found
on-disk) you write some C code to read the mbx and spit it back out in
maildir (or whatever) :-).
