Last time I looked moz and thunderbird used the standard mailbox format
that is groked by scores of utilities.

(now this is the old unix standard format and everyone and his mother
has been moving to maildir for quite a long time, but the no facility
part is plain false)

Of course it does you little good if you chose to use an operating
system where all applications use a private binary format and are
engineered to be unable to parse common ones. But that's not a
thunderbird limitation.

And unless you have a very good backup policy you're better of with imap
anyway.
