The "mbox" file name, and its special behavior of copying from the mail spool directory file, is only for the traditional UNIX mailbox format. An mbx-format INBOX file has the name "INBOX" in the home directory, and can be created by mbxcreat with name "#driver.mbx/INBOX". An arbitrary name (e.g. "mail/blurdybloop") can be in any format. c-client library will dynamically pick the correct format.
