ok. here we have a script that checks if
the access time is correctly set.
i.e. "N" will be correctly shown.
it does this by reading the folder looking for new mail
and comparing this with the information from the access time.
the script is rather big, so get it from
http://www.erikyyy.de/checkyyyfolder
i not want to fill your mboxes with scripts you don't read ;)
in order to run it you need
bash
stat
(( what is stat? it does this:
erik@vulcain:~/Mail > stat mbox
File: "mbox"
Size: 388675 Blocks: 766 Regular File
Access: (0600/-rw-------) Uid: ( 1000/ erik) Gid: ( 1000/ erik)

Modify: Wed Mar 22 16:39:17 2000

grep
egrep
lockfile-create
lockfile-touch
lockfile-remove
(( debian package "lockfile-progs" ))
formail
(( debian package "procmail" ))
have fun finding new mails in folders you didn't expect them in :-)
