 Hypermail depends on a complete mailbox unless you use the incremental option and send it only messages which aren't yet in the html archive.  I generally recommend keeping the mbox if you use the incremental option in case you want to regenerate the html using a new version or configuration of Hypermail, but that's not overly important since you can mostly recreate the mbox (with some changes in formatting) via hypetombox.pl.
