Pine creates mbox the first time a user accesses his mail.

Pine will pull mail from /usr/spool/mail into ~/mbox, which will be a Bky-format
folder.

The mbox driver enables the following behavior: if there is a file called mbox
in your home directory, and if that file is either empty or in Unix mailbox
format, then every time you open INBOX the mbox driver will automatically
transfer mail from the system mail spool directory into the mbox file and delete
it from the spool directory. If you disable the mbox driver, this will not
happen.
