Seen file question(s) with cvt_cyrusdb

Hi all,

When I do this:

cvt_cyrusdb /tech/home/bryder/cyrus/check_seen/bryder.seen.flat  
/cyrus/cyrusMetadata/user/b/bryder.seen skiplist

And then this:

cvt_cyrusdb /cyrus/cyrusMetadata/user/b/bryder.seen skiplist 
/tech/home/bryder/cyrus/check_seen/bryder.seen.flat.new flat

The new flat file has about 18 mailboxes I removed from the original 
.flat file - they came back magically.

In the first .flat file I removed any mboxes that I couldn't find the 
name of using the output from
mbexamine user.bryder

I removed them because I thought something had gone wrong with the seen 
database at some point and it had some left over mailboxes that didn't 
exist anymore so I thought I'd tidy it up.

But they returned - even when I completely removed the .seen database 
before running the cvt_cyrusdb the second time.

What could the mystery mailboxes be?


On a somewhat related note -  is this seen file line  valid?

Or to abbreviate it

45e4b8253dea69f4    1 1291767021 633050 1291767604 1:633057

The last read id is  less than the last read id from the range. That 
doesn't seem valid.

This is cyrus 2.3.16

(this all started because I had a user who's mail magically showed up as 
being read - when she hadn't read it - in her case I changed the last id 
to match the highest number in the range of read ids and her problem 
went away)
