Thanks for your replies...  

Well...it's an interesting twist that it's maildir by default, but when
we recently set up her account (about two months ago) I imported mail
from Thunderbird, which I think is mbox format.  So is it right to
assume it would take those files and re-import to mbox.  Also, it's a
POP3 account.  Does that matter?

Actually this raises an interesting question that I never thought
of...how do I know what format is currently being used?

Thx
