The "lastupdated:" field of cyradm's "info mailbox" command will show
the last time the mailbox was updated in any way, so that includes
deliveries. The timestamp of the user.seen file will only reflect the
last time that the seen state of anything in the mailbox changed, but
does not tell you when the mailbox was last accessed.
I think you'd need to derive this information some other way, such as
from authentication logs. Of course the reliability and accessibility
of that will depend on your authentication mechanisms.
