last time I checked, Unix versions of Messanger used standard mbox format,
and windows has those index files. mbox is known as a very popular format
on Unix (exchangeable between elm, mutt, mh, mailx, pine, etc) but the
indexed format in windows is probably faster. the main mailbox could have
still been kept as mbox but they didn't do it...
if this is a network, what you can do is access the mailboxes through IMAP
when in NT, I did it a lot, and it works wonderfully.

I will be surprised if there was, the mailbox format is so weird and
propriatery...
