That would be safer, as long as it can also handle at least 1k of mails
being processed I'd be fine with that.

An alternative could be passing a cutoff timestamp from the newest mail
selected along, but an explicit list naturally is slightly simpler to
handle and to debug, so mostly just mentioning it for the sake of
completeness.
