Upgrade and seen status

[Milos Zupancic]

First i wanted to test the upgrade on a single user with a moderate amount
of mail.
I copied the mail folder, exported mailboxes.db to a text file and remove
no existent mailboxes and then recreate
mailboxes.db on the new server.
I also created user/*/ folders and copied .seen file to the correct folder

Then i started master and tried it with a mail client.
All mail is still marked as unread.

Did I missed a step in the upgrade ?
