Is the cost of bandwidth to your inside server really so expensive as to 
justify the expense of complicated development, hosting an offsite 
server with that much bandwidth, and maintaining a remote system?  It 
really sounds like you are overengineering the problem.

No, the time a flag was changed isn't kept.  In fact for seen flags 
which are cached in memory while a mailbox is open, only a single bit is 
kept.
