not necessary. You may use mutt to change files from either format to
the other. If mutt is set to mbox, you may open a maildir format box
and copy/save the contents to another new box and they will be in the
mbox format. Also, the opposite is true, if mutt is set to use
maildir format, opening an mbox file and copy/save to a new box, the
new box will be in maildir format.
