First, I want to thank all the people that answer to my problem. The use of "ls -lu" is a good choice, but I still have a problem.
If you have mail in your mailbox and you check it, the access time is modified. If you DON'T have mail, the access time is NOT modified. And that's a problem. If I do want to know only when mailbox are accessed, I have to combine the "ls -lu" with the .cache file. Isn't it another solution ?

(Some people _are_ that paranoid)
