I noticed something silly though:

After running this:

$ fud-client localhost randomstring user.stens

Then I get a brand new seen-file for "randomstring" :

# ls  -la /var/lib/imap/user/r/randomstring.seen
-rw-------    1 cyrus    mail          144 Aug 13 14:19 /var/lib/imap/user/r/randomstring.seen

Not good, a simple loop calling fud-client with different values of "randomstring" each time would not be nice.

Can these seen-files that does not belong to any real mailbox just be removed by hand?
