If you don't have to preserve them in the *exact* format for legal
reasons, why not just convert them to some other format that's easier for
more clients to parse?  Assuming the folder is not larger than 2 GiB, you
could convert it to standard mbox format.  Use the "mailutil" program that
comes with imapd.

If the folder is larger than 2 GiB, you'll need to stick with MIX.

pine or alpine could do that.
