Hi, could it be that this thread was meant to be posted in the Proxmox Mailgateway (sub)forum?
Anyway, there are many tools out there if one searches, a lot of it shareware and maybe not to trustworthy.
A simple/stupid way to do it could be just using Thunderbird. There's a "import export tool" addon which is a UI for Thunderbirds build in capabillities to work with both formats. You can add it, and use it to import all your EML and export it as mbox.
I mean "mbox" is more or less just the EML files all inline, separated with an empty line and some escaping.
Python has a Mailbox module in the standard library, the following gist shows a pretty much complete example for your request:

If you do not want to got the "Thunderbird" way and have a bit more flexible and lean solution. Both are OK, especially if it's only required to be done once, not often.
