Thanks for the feed back on this. I'm wondering if the seen info was  
effected when the copied DB's weren't working. I really don't know how  
that's all connected. After working with it, I figured out that it's really  
not going to be an issue for almost everyone. All except maybe 1 person  
uses toltec. After successfully upgrading the server and getting the DB's  
copied over correctly, I pointed to the new server with a test user's  
toltec/outlook setup... There was NO duplication, of folders or mail. Huge  
success! Also, after connecting toltec to the new server, it appears that  
it uploaded the seen info, so after that things look accurate.

I ran the bootstrap process after the initial install, I was just thinking  
that there might be links to stuff that, when doing an 'upgrade' would  
normally be already done. Then I treated the import of my info as if it  
were an upgrade. It seemed to work, but if this isn'ta necessary step, I  
could probably leave it out.

Any ideas or comments are appreciated, I've got atleast 2 more test  
install/upgrades to do before I'll feel ready to go live and do it, I wan't  
to get it as efficient/fool proof as possible.
