No reason why not, though I'm not sure why you'd want to, since the message
are just stored in files.

You can find out where they are from the Maintenance tab on Tools | Options
(click the "Store Folder" button).

I did adapt some code from Delphi to read the mailbox files, and can let you
have that if it would help, but sounds to me like a file copy is all you're
looking for.
