If thats not a secret, what is the reason why you can't be sure of things with just attaching a trusted timestamp header for each mail? Someone could edit or delete those mails? Well, if you'd be using a LDA like maildrop, you could easily just call some bash script or direct command to make a new commit as your VCS provide... After each newly arrived message. (I don't know about moved / deleted messages hooks!) But... That is quite a heavyweight solution. Can there be any other reason to use it than because someone could delete or change a mail without your knowledge?
