It's been years since I've used this kind of mail client.
You may configure local IMAP server (e.g. dovecot) to store your
archive. It allows to avoid issues with variations of mbox formats
across mail user agents. Perhaps it is reasonable to disable message
caching in mail client for the local IMAP server to avoid another copies
of messages on disk.
On the other hand IMAP offline cache for remote servers allows to work
with messages when network is unavailable.
