I intentionally did say mailbox format, meaning a general term as in
messagebase format, not mbox.
I in fact favour Maildir over mbox, as I mentioned I'll thus be moving
my Microdot message base towards Maildir.

A Maildir export shouldn't be too difficult either, the files
themselves could be simply copied and renamed accordingly also
preserving their flags (Maildir stores some flags in the filename).

As I described, I am motivated, but won't need to do much scripting.
I already wrote the scripts to extract all messages of some type (i
this case all mails) from Microdot's message base back then when it
was corrupted the first time.
And maildrop will take care of sorting those into Maildirs.
