Not very well. Best to convert whatever it is to ePub. Mobi files though can have various levels of formatting from oldest Palm days before Amazon bought out Mobipocket to formats since AZW. Calibre uses two versions, called "Old" and "New", a file can even have both in it.
I download .mobi from Gutenberg as the various Kindles here use it and I've had issues with margins & justification on Gutenberg epubs. They don't seem to be using the oldest mobi? Anyway, then I convert to ePub. Easier than downloading twice. Sometimes I'll reformat using Calibre GUI, sometimes I export as RTF (works best) and reformat in LibreOffice, saving as odt (for later edits) and saving as .docx for Calibre as .docx conversion is better than odt.
I gave up using the Mobi creator tool when I got Calibre years ago. Kindle Keyboard era. I have started converting .mobi downloads to AZW3 as that works better on the Kindles, esp the newer FW with "themes" and "publisher fonts".
