Mmmm? What's that?
So far, I've never had problems feeding the mbox of one client to another.
:^), I haven't either.....but,
A recent discussion on the mutt-users list:

If you're interested in some quick reading about the hilarity of "the
mbox format" (such as it is), check this out:
http://homepages.tesco.net./~J.deBoynePollard/FGA/mail-mbox-formats.html
In any case: DON'T USE MBOX! It's a lousy format for general-purpose
email. The right mbox flavor can be good for read-only archives, but
that's about it.
.....
I commented that I had *never* experienced any problems with mbox that
I knew about and after some further discussion some definitive points
were presented that afaiac did not change my mind, I continue to use
mbox.
I can forward the entire conversation or provide it for http access if
you prefer (off-list), as long as the backups have not become outdated
and are deleted :^)
