In that case, just copying the .seen file into the correct location should
work fine unless you were crazy enough to copy spool files without the
cyrus.header.  If you lost the cyrus.header files, then all bets are off,
because they are the only location with the mailbox uniqueid, and that's
how the seen records are named.

Hence my assumption of 2.4 :)
