It turned out to be way easier than that:

man fud:
FUD is a long lived datagram daemon started from cyrmaster that  
provides information about when a user last read their mail, when
        mail last arrived in a user's mailbox, and how many messages  
are recent for that user.

this is INTEGRATED into cyrus. very easy. very cool.
