In fact, INN gives you a choice of several storage formats that trade
off speed against storage space, but I don't recall any resembling mbox.
It's probably organized, though, to allow you to provide your own
storage driver.

OTOH, it probably makes more sense to code up a light-weight server just
for this purpose.
