these filenames are generated according to maildir standard, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir
- there is no sense in trying to retrieve any information from the filename 
itself (other than status like 'read' etc.)
I would recommend for your script to just scan all files present in the inbox 
folder.
