The simplest method that comes to mind is to setup an imap server for reading 
your mailboxes, setup outlook to read from the imap server, drag the mail 
into your Outlook folders.

If you're trying to convert multiple mailboxes for multiple users this 
obviously would get too time consuming ...

I'm not sure that squirrelmail supports mbox files directly but again you 
could setup an imap server and configure squirrelmail to use that imap 
server.

Yuck, how do you convert mail to html, wrap <pre> tags around the body?

You could use formail to split up the large mailbox into individual emails 
then feed that to a shell script to do the formatting.
