Uhm... doing this would make all mailboxes appear as they contain new
mail, but it is easy to write a script that saves the atimes, run grep or
glimpseindex and then restores them.
This is not optimal, however, since access times can be altered by scripts
not under my control, for example a backup script run by root.
