Ok, I admit that I didn't think about this. So yes, it is indeed possible. It still seems a bit strange to me but it could be done and relatively simply.

By default a not very standard (but open, documented, and recognized by a few other clients) MBX format is used because it is most efficient. But you can use MBOX and, as a matter of fact, I do because even if it slower I like to be able to grep my mailboxes. There is also support for MH (where a mailbox is a file system directory and each message is a file in it) but the driver for this format is poor that I can't recommend it. I'd like to have a better MH driver but this is not that easy to do and it's not high enough in my list of priorities.
