After our xfer and reconstructs the seen states are lost/wrong (all  
messages unread). The seen file has twoskip in the header, so it looks  
good I think. But I guess the cyrus.index is the problem... maybe issu  
1747 is dealing with the same problem (see  
https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/issues/1747)?
