As mentioned previously, we changed to Seen (from Read) because that  
is the more correct interpretation from the IMAP RFC (3501).

 From an internal technical standpoint, the \Seen IMAP flag is weird.   
It is really the only standard IMAP flag that is handled in a negative  
manner - meaning that most people tend to mark flags as Unseen, which  
is actually *clearing* the flag.  Most other flags are *added* to a  
message by a user (e.g. flagged, draft, replied, forwarded).
