That's no more. And, let me clarify: atime was used for mail:
* only with mbox (Maildir never suffered from this issue)
* only on the local machine
* only by the shell to say "You have new mail." vs "You have mail."
-- not even by the mail client

So the whole effort gave you just a single word in a message, that many
people even didn't notice.

And, popular local mail clients are already patched to update atime
explicitly.

Ie, atime for mail is an ex-reason.
