Hi Warrick,

seen information is saved at server side for imap and pop3, too.
If you have moved the server sided pop3 mailboxes using a mailclient
tool, this information might have changed, so they have the status "not
seen" and outlook behaves right. If you have moved them at filesystem
level their status should not have changed and outlook misbehaves.
