Fast mailbox parsing

Hi,

I try to find new messages in mailboxes. I use the mailbox and email
module to parse the mailbox. Looping over all messages and looking for
the Status header with msg.get('Status') is sadly very slow.

Is there a faster way of parsing mailboxes in Python? Mutt does it so
fast!

My first try can be found on http://www.glorybox.de/proto.py
