That's probably a good method for seeing when the user last opened the 
mailbox...  I think the seen file is only updated when a user reads a 
message.

You can also look at the mailbox annotations to see the 'lastupdate' 
annotation timestamp.  I think that is a timestamp for when the 
cyrus.index file was last updated, which should correspond with the last 
message that was delivered.

You can view the mailbox annotations using cyradm with the "info" command, 
like so:

localhost> info user.morgan
{user.morgan}:
   condstore: false
   duplicatedeliver: false
   lastpop:
   lastupdate: 11-Sep-2011 19:26:45 -0700
   partition: p4
   pop3newuidl: true
   sharedseen: false
   size: 43589953
