I've been running cyrus for years, with OE as client, and always had the
"seen problem", i.e. seen messages suddenly going back to unseen. I
found that very annoying, but always suspected it to be OE's fault. Last
fall, I moved to Mozilla as imap client, but the seen problem was still
there. But since I upgraded to Cyrus 2.1.12 in early Feb, it's gone
away. :-)

I always found OE to be an excellent client, except:
o Being tied to Microsoft's insecure Internet Explorer framework.
o In some situations, poor message formatting (e.g. converting tabs to
  single spaces, broken "quoted-printable" reply handling).
o Closed source; with Mozilla, I have been able to tweak it to my
  preference.

Cheers,
