Imap doesn't include headers when you fetch the body, so it doesn't look
anything like mbox format, unfortunately.

At least in my case, I don't want it to save to files..I want all
data sent to my application via the write callback, so while we might
want an option to save as individual files...I don't want it to
be the only way of doing things.
