Should be easy enough to implement yourself. (See below)

Mmmm, that's probably a bad idea, because an mbox/spool file has
specific formatting requirements for figuring out where mails begin
and end. Assuming your messages are all stored in a folder named
"oldmail", try this:
mkdir foo
mkdir foo/new
mkdir foo/cur
mkdir foo/tmp
mv oldmail/* foo/new
Then open the foo directory like so:
mutt -f ./foo
And that'll do it for you. From there, you can move your messages
wherever you like, put them in mbox files, whatever.
