That's the problem: the first line of each email message in an mbox
file should look something like this:
From help-gnu-emacs-bounces+eliz=gnu.org@gnu.org Wed May 05 07:46:37 2021
That is, it must start with "From ", then a valid email address, then
date and time. Return-Path: should be on the next line.
Do you have the "From " lines there, perhaps on lines after
Return-Path? If so, maybe you could reorder the lines with Sed or
with Emacs, to get a usable mbox file.
