does the index actually store the message's status (local, sent, private, etc) 
or is that in the header file? i see that it reads the index and looks to be 
checking the status there instead of from the header... if the message base 
operation is like others and the index is just an index, i suspect that you 
need to read the index, load the header for the message the index is pointing 
to, then check the status of the message and scan it out if needed after which 
the header would be rewritten with the scanned attribute being turned on and 
then move on to the next index position to read that number and load the next 
header... but that's just a guess as i'm not familiar with "imp" and can't 
recall what full name it may have...
