Does anything else use same mbx file format?

The mbx format is private to the UW c-client library, used by UW imapd, ipop3d, mailutil, and of course Pine. It was designed by me, and is a descendant of the mailbox format used on the Tenex and TOPS-20 systems of the 1970s and 1980s.

I have heard rumors of a version of postfix that knows how to append in mbx format; but I do not (will not, can not) promise that it will work today or in the future.

exim can deliver to an mbx mailbox. We ran this without problems.
