Modify a 'After new mail arrives' agent in a template database: will it trigger on previously received mails?

Hi,

Modify a ‘After new mail arrives’ agent in a template database: will it trigger on previously received mails ?

Business case :

I have ‘collective mailboxes’ (= mailin databases) for system monitoring;

these mailin databases are all based on a template.

I designed this template a few years ago : I added a ‘After new mail’ agent who simply send a ‘warning mail’ to related administrators.

It works perfectly but now I want to add a link to the warning mail.

It can easily be done but I’m afraid to change the agent !

Questions:

Would this change make the agent trigger on previously received mails (potentially thousands of warnings then)?

I would make this change, not in the mailin database(s), but in the template database.

Can it have an influence on the trigger?

I think I can’t change it to a ‘Before new mail arrives’ in this case because the original mails are automatically created and/or routed by various other systems

Thank you by advance for any help received…
