not exactly.  upas/fs turns its inport fmt into a directory containing
1 directory per message.  this is the standard format that programs
like imap4d, nedmail and acme Mail can understand.  imap4d
upas/fs's filesystem into imap4 commands.  inport fmt can be an
mbox, imap4 or pop3.  i've added support for mail directories
somewhat similar to mdir format.  unfortunately that's not quite
finished.

p9p upas/fs can only read imap4 and the directory format is somewhat
different.
