No, but you do need to register at least one *mailbox format* handler.
You can do this using mu_register_all_formats(). This macro registers
handlers for all mailbox and mailer formats supported by mailutils.
Alternatively, you may use one of the following macros:

mu_register_local_mbox_formats()    Registers only local formats,
                                    i.e. mbox,mh,maildir
mu_register_remote_mbox_formats()   Registers only remote mailbox formats,
                                    i.e. pop and imap

or register the desired mailbox formats manually, e.g. like this:

  list_t rl;
  registrar_get_list (&rl);
  list_append (rl, path_record);
  list_append (rl, mbox_record);
