The answer (i believe) is simple: 'no'.

I think that is more safe and reliable use the Maildir format and
make some wrappers arround your MUA's to convert the maildir to mailbox
on-the-fly.
In a general line:
Using pine as a MUA, built a shell script like this:
#!/bin/sh
# see more details in the maildir2mbox manpage.
MAILDIR=~/Maildir/
MAIL=~/Mailbox
MAILTMP=~/Temp_mailbox
/var/qmail/bin/maildir2mailbox
exec pine
This will convert maildir format to mailbox (and let pine read
it). This also solve your problem with the qmail-popup.
It's obvious that if you have only pop/Imap clents you *must*
convert to Maildir. It's easy and painless.
:-)
Keep trying.
Good look.
