Summary: archivemail needs to preserve IMAP dummy message

Initial Comment:
archivemail will happily delete the dummy message that IMAP servers place in mbox files to keep track of the next UID.  This isn't the end of the world, but it is mildly unpleasant.

This simple patch will preserve this message.  (A more rigorous implemention might ensure that this is the first message in the file.)

Enjoy,
