Don't do that! Whatever you want to recover, it will work with a
normal file, too, don't touch your spool.
mbox basically looks like this:
------ QUOTE BEGIN ------
>From adr date
Header1:...
HeaderN:...
body-txt
------- QUOTE END -------
If your files look like this (note no ':' after From), then you
can cat them together and simply use with mutt.

mutt can sort by several different orders, incl. time from header
and unsorted (like you cat'ed them).
Don't forget to read the given links, and roam around a bit more.
