I am working on code that optionally processes "missed" messages at startup.
It looks like I can list all unread, unscored mail in my 1000+ item inbox
very quickly, so this should be feasible.

Check out the Outlook plugin in the win32com\demos directory - probably a
good place to start.

Or if anyone gets lots of KLEZ mail via Outlook, I have a plugin that does a
decent job at killing them.
