I do not know about the mbox file format in email applications, but, if 
you want a powerful email client, as I believe that I have previously 
stated, I use, for downloading, storing, and, archiving email, the most 
powerful email client that I have found - alpine, previously known as pine.

The folder properties for the applicable stored messages folder, show
"Total count of files: 13720
Total size of files: 24.5GB"

I think that I have a couple of hundred filters (it could be more), 
involving some thousands of filter parameter field values.
