 So it's not easy to tell which email is present in one folder and it's even more nasty to put a missing email into a folder at a defined position.

+===== Remarks =====
   * You have to use bash >= 3.0 or 3.2 for that.
   * If you use this on otherwise differing mbox mail folders you will get a unified merged folder - but without the original flow of time reconstructed.
