You have to set the transport referred to by "file_transport" in the
filter-enabled director to have mbx_format set.

But I would have thought writing to shared folders would be better served by
using Maildir or sth and avoiding having to lock the mailbox? (Also means
you don't have to change the file_transport, since you'll be using
directory_transport or directory2_transport).
