Right. I knew that. I was asking about mbx, not mbox (notice the lack of
the letter 'o').

Let me explain further. I am using SquirellMail with UW-IMAP. UW-IMAP is
very slow in sorting and filterting when called from SM, especially if
it uses mbox format, which is apparently what we were using. The speed
up notes say to convert to mbx format which is the best preferred format
these days. I couldn't find a conversion tool from mbox to mbx, but
found some for mox to MAILDIR. I just wondered if the two (mbx and
MAILDIR) are the same.
