I don't use OE but I experienced the same (or similar) problem with mozilla: since it uses many concurrent connections to the server, seen messages came back as unseen various times, and it was very annoying.Try using skiplist for the seen.db It doesn't really solve the problem but it masks it well enough.From my understanding, changing to skiplist really shouldn't change the visible behavior at all. But I've been wrong before. It would be possible to flush the seen state more often; it's just a question of how often and when should other imapds look for it. I've never actually seen this problem happen whenever I've fooled around with OE so I've never looked at the code to figure out what to do.
Switching to skiplist almost solves the problem (at least it did for me): since I switched to skiplist I had seen messages come back as unseen only 2 or 3 times.
At the times I tried various things (see http://asg.web.cmu.edu/archive/message.php?mailbox=archive.info-cyrus&msg=14304) but the definitive solution was to use skiplist. Maybe it's linux specific.
