Mbox Download Notebook Producing Empty Folders

[lh-zhan]

Config File:

conf <- yaml::read_yaml("../conf/hadoop.yml") save_path_mbox <- conf[["mailing_list"]][["mbox"]] 
mod_mbox_url <- conf[["mailing_list"]][["domain"]] 
mailing_list <- conf[["mailing_list"]][["list_key"]] 
start_year <- 2009 
end_year <- 2023

While downloading the mbox using this notebook, I noticed that if I specify a start year or end year that's outside of the actual mbox coverage, the notebook would create empty folders within that specified time coverage. Constraints should be added to avoid creating empty folders.

Thank you for this!
