I was able to build the IMAP extension under Cygwin.  I exported some
news with the Thunderbird Add-On ImportExportTools to a file in mbox
format and copied that to my home directory.

  $ php -r '$imap=imap_open("test.mbox", "",
"");var_dump(imap_check($imap));'
  object(stdClass)#1 (5) {
    ["Date"]=>
    string(31) "Tue, 28 May 2013 23:53:42 +0200"
    ["Driver"]=>
    string(4) "unix"
    ["Mailbox"]=>
    string(19) "/home/cmb/test.mbox"
    ["Nmsgs"]=>
    int(11)
    ["Recent"]=>
    int(0)
}

The driver is reported as "unix"!  In PHP 5.4.15 in ext/imap/php_imap.c
line 839[1] this driver is linked in only, if the system is not Win32
(PHP_WIN32).

imap_open()ing an Inbox of Thunderbird directly reports the "dummy"
driver and 0 messages (same as for an empty file).

So the solution to be able to read Thunderbird mailboxes under Windows
might to be to export them to a format that is handled by the "mbx"
driver.  I do not know, how this can be accomplished.
