in reply to finding unread emails in IMAP maildir

Doe Mail::IMAPClient fit your needs? It's very easy to use.. 
use Mail::IMAPClient;

my $imap = Mail::IMAPClient->new(
  Server => $host,
  User    => $id,
  Password=> $pass,
) or die "Cannot connect to $host as $id: $@";

$imap->select($folder);
my @msgs = $imap->unseen();
foreach my $msgid( @msgs ){
  ...
}

    Thanks,
    I really don't want to make an IMAP connection to the server. I'd rather do this on at the filesystem. I'll look into the IMAPClient module. I have a feeling that you're right in saying the way to check for new messages is with an IMAP connection.
    Thanks again,
    chrisj
