For some mailbox types - mbox, for example - it would involve re-reading
the mailbox every time. This would make things rather slow.

Other mailbox types might not have to do that; I'm not familiar with
them. I can't imagine it could be done without *some* degree of
re-reading, though.

It's possible that read_only might not change the access time, although
I doubt it. Might be worth a try (I can't test it at the moment).
