You need to read the uniqueid of the mailbox from the cyrus.header file first, then read the contents of the skiplist file. The easiest way to do that is `cyr_dbtool /path/to/seen/file.db skiplist get $uniqueid`, which will give you the seen record. You then need to parse that for uniqueids - it's in the format: range,range,range where range is either a single integer or $low:$high where low and high are both integers - in which case all the messages in that range inclusive are seen. There's some other stuff in that seen record as well. Here we go: [brong@imap3 hm]$ cat /mnt/meta8/slot308/store23/meta/b/user/brong/cyrus.header | grep user.brong user.brong 6af857f64475158a [brong@imap3 hm]$ /usr/cyrus/bin/cyr_dbtool -C /etc/imapd-slot308-master.conf /mnt/meta8/slot308/store23/conf/user/b/brong.seen skiplist get 6af857f64475158a 1 1242810803 386716 1242800567 1:386615 Looks like I've seen all my email! Also notice 4 other fields at the start: <version> <lastread> <lastuid> <lastchange> <seen_items> Here's a more interesting couple of folders to give you an idea of what ranges look like: 798b2df94146a5fe 1 1095746485 1526 1095740252 1:559,561:772,774:920,922:1109,1111:1115,1117:1138,1140:1170,1172:1195,1197:1521 798b2df941576261 1 1125837870 34307 1123831223 1:28289,29118,30871,31887,31935,32058,32209:32210,32214:32219,32222,32228 So - in summary. It's not easy. Some plumbing required... (lastuid gives you "\Recent" as per the IMAP flag - anything newer than that is recent!)
