When APPENDing mails as the cyrus admin, the \Seen flags magically disappears, unlike appending to the mailbox as its owner: they're preserved as expected.
Well, I've looked into the source now, and understand, what happens: the seen db is user dependant.
Further thinking and searching on how to solve this problem cleanly brought me to the proxyauth command, which would fit my needs, but unfortunately is non standard nor implemented in cyrus.
It is nonstandard, but also isn't needed. Cyrus supports SASL mechanisms which support proxying, specifically PLAIN and DIGEST-MD5.
Thus let me rephrase my question: is there a way to migrate mbox mailboxes in a way, that they appear exactly the same in cyrus from within an admin account (without compromising user logins), including the \Seen flag?
Use one of the SASL mechanisms above to authenticate as an admin, but authorize as the user that you are migrating.
