Nope, there isn't a mbox file on your local machine, as it resides on
the IMAP server.

However: Evolution does store some data locally (at least for offline
marked folders) under the ~/evolution/mail/imap/ hirarchy. It looks
pretty much like MH mail format (at least GKrellM automatically
recognizes it as such). By a quick GKrellM told be, all mails are *not*
read...

GKrellM can handle IMAP accounts... ;)

Yep, this is planned for the forthcoming 2.0 release:
