For example, UW-IMAP support a mailbox format "mbx"  
<http://www.washington.edu/imap/IMAP-FAQs/#4.5>. To allow MTA to deliver
mail into that format, there are MDAs such as dmail and tmail created
specifically to do the delivering. These tools are part of mail-util
package <http://www.cygwin.com/packages/uw-imap-util/>.

Well, since both MDA and IMAP server both access the mailbox, the format
of mailbox chosen will dictate what MDA and IMAP server can chosen.
