Hassling my customers is not an option, unfortunately. :-)

It doesn't have to be 100%, so two simultaneous deliveries are ok, I guess.
Stat()ing every file is expensive, thats true, but most of the time it
should be ok: Most users read their mail regularly and delete everything.
So most of the time the boxes are empty. At least that is what I see on
my system.
Seems you don't want to implement it, so I have to do it on my own. :-)
I will send you the patches.
