Well, I would never dream of making mbx the default format as the 
default setting.  The default setting should be the default setting of 
the software, which is mbox.  What I'd like to see is a flag in the 
imap-uw port that causes the port to be built with mbx as the default 
mailbox format.

It would have to be intentionally enabled.  Users of the port would be 
unaffected unless they wanted to be.
