Are you sure? Please create some empty folders in Kmail export them as
an mbox and attach the mbox file to a mail to me. It maybe some funky
kmail mail file format but I'm pretty sure it's not an mbox file. Open
any mbox file in a text editor and see for yourself. If you export an
individual email and open that in a text editor you will see that the
folders are usually simply tied to the mbox filename within client
config files.

Claws uses maildir like the renowned reliable and secure qmail server
which is one file per email and is far more reliable and useful than
mbox which is basically one file after another in a single file. A
corrupt email can render the whole single batch (what you see as a
folder) unreadable to a mail client but it will still be fixable and
viewable via a text editor.
