It seems to me that mailbox.mbox.add() sets the access time of a mbox

detect new mail by looking to see if the access time is before the
modification time.
Have I done something wrong somewhere or is mailbox.mbox.add() really
as broken as it would appear?

The access time is the time it was last accessed, ie read or modified.
The modification time is the time it was last modified.
The access time can never be before the modification time because it
must be accessed in order to be modified!
