For what it's worth, this may be too restrictive in practice, for the
general case. I believe the generally accepted regex is:
^From .+
(that's ^From followed by SPC, followed by .+).
The date format can be variable from client to client, and as we've
seen on mutt-dev in the past IIRC, may be omitted entirely by some
clients / MDAs. This is why most clients / MDAs will escape lines
that start with From or use quoted-printable to encode messages
containing them. Sadly there is no official standard which defines
what should be in the From line which starts an mbox message, as there
is no single formal standard for mbox message stores (there is RFC
4155, which is NOT for message stores -- otherwise you get whatever
your vendor decided to implement).

If you're using mbox format, then this ruby script will output the number
of new messages in an mbox passed as an argument or piped to its stdin:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
UNIX_FROM = /^From \S+ ([A-Z][a-z]{2} ){2}[\s\d]\d \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2} \d{4}$/
newmail=0
in_hdr=false
$.each do |line|
case line
when UNIX_FROM
newmail += 1
in_hdr = true
when /^Status: RO/
newmail -= 1 if in_hdr
when /^\s*$/
in_hdr = false
end
end
puts newmail
