Arguably you should backup seen as well, it has the message-ids that have
been learned already so that you don't double learn (or if you learn again
the other way (ham/spam), it'll deal with the token counts correctly.)

yes, --rebuild syncs the journal. I forget the exact name,
but it's something like bayes_journal_max_size. the default is
to sync at 100k (filesize). if you're not learning to the journal
(bayes_learn_to_journal), then how often it syncs doesn't really matter
since the data would only be used for an expiry run. if you do learn
to journal, then you want it to sync more often.

no problem. :)
