Package: backintime-gnome
Version: 1.0.8-1
Severity: normal

Hi!

When backintime performs a backup, it does not preserve the file
access time.  This means that mailbox-checking programs, such as mutt,
lose the information as to when the mailbox was last actually read.

I would recommend that backintime does something like

  orig_times = os.stat(file)
  [perform whichever actions required on file]
  os.utime(file, (orig_times.st_atime, orig_times.st_mtime))

whenever it needs to read a file for backup purposes.
