I'd like to create a shared folder to be used with an Outlook client and a Thunderbird client. We're currently using mboxes.

I've read the documentation here about creating a shared folder: https://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared

It doesn't make reference to how to do this using mbox format. Is it possible? Should we convert to Maildir? Perhaps there's a way to provide both formats?

You should never use mbox for anything other than maybe read-only archival storage.

Use Maildir++ if you need to be compatible with anything accessing the mail other than Dovecot or better yet, use Dovecots own sdbox format.
