A ".mbox" file is simply a bunch of email messages appended to one 
another, but normally you don't need to do anything special with it: 
your mail reader, or a POP or IMAP server should understand the 
contents as-is.

However, if you want to process each message individually, look at 
formail, which is part of the mail/procmail port...
