Pan uses the maildir base directory format (each message as its own file, each filesystem directory a different message folder), not mbox (each mbox file contains all the messages in a single message folder). You can try reading the cache with a maildir format processing mail client and see how that goes, but pan doesn't do mbox. Here's a google for maildir to mbox conversion, tho. Looks like you have quite a choice of conversion methods! =:^) http://www.google.com/search?q=maildir+to+mbox -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
