Other people have already pointed out that this breaks when two
messages arrive in the same second. And what should happen when a
sender address contains a "_" character?

If the idea is to make mail accessible by certain attributes,
you could set up a database with as fields:

    filename|date|time|sender|subject

With this you would not have to rename all your mail files when you
decide that you need to select mail by one more attribute.
