mbox should be very possibly to import directly
into Gnus and/or respool into whatever you
switch to! How should be in the Gnus manual.
I would recommend a backend which stores mails
single files (one file per mail), e.g. nnml.
That way you can use the shell tools on the
mails much easier than those
many-mails-in-one-file methods.
