Bizarrely, JavaMail doesn't include support for mbox, preferring to
focus on wire protocols. There are at least a couple of open-source
JavaMail providers for mbox. When I looked into the subject a number
of months ago I found the "knife" provider the most complete, but with
horrifying performance problems, far and away worse than any overhead
ostensibly inherent to Java.
The O'Reilly book is quite handy, and unparalleled for demystifying
MIME. It predates RFC 2822, though, so it's not up to date in terms of
changes from RFC 822, which the former supersedes.
