Oops, if I'd seen this message before I sent my last post, I probably

That said, I will take issue with the notion that mbox is a terrible

It is a super cheap test with zero storage overhead.

Wow, what a bad algorithm. I mean, this was probably perfect 20 years ago,
but in times of desktop search engines, cloud backup services, etc.

Can you describe the algorithm how to determine if a mbox file has new
