You may configure local IMAP server (e.g. dovecot) to store your 
archive. It allows to avoid issues with variations of mbox formats 
across mail user agents. Perhaps it is reasonable to disable message 
caching in mail client for the local IMAP server to avoid another copies 
of messages on disk.

On the other hand IMAP offline cache for remote servers allows to work 
with messages when network is unavailable.
