The piece that I was talking about is the actual fud daemon which is
already in the distro as imap/fud.c. This is the piece which grabs the
info directly from the mailstore (outside of IMAP). If you were going
to write your own tool to fetch seen state, this is what I would start
with.
If you actually want the client piece of this client/server service,
then Larry addresses that below.
