But, what if I move to Linux in half a year, there is no export to mbox option. Kinook, would this be possible?
Messages imported from mbox format can be exported as documents (.eml) to recreate the individual MIME files (including attachments). I believe Thunderbird and other email apps can import these directly, and they can also be converted to mbox format via a free convertor, for instance:
