No, write MBOX not ~/MBOX.  Relative paths are relative to your home
directory.

When I tried it (with "mbox" which is a directory in my home dir), I had
to add the folders manually by right-clicking on the "mbox (mbox)"
heading and selecting "Create New Folder".  I named the folder the same
as the existing file.  Then when I then clicked the folder, all the
emails showed up in it.

"Check for new folders" on the context menu did nothing.

...so this is probably too much work for your thousands of mbox files
that you may or may not use.  It's too bad the plugin doesn't scan the
directory.
