(a) in this network, IMAP is used because the vast majority of
mail traffic needs to be seen not only by a single user but by a
group of persons. For what I have experienced and also read in
the archive of this list, it is not possible in cyrus (in IMAP?) to have
a general "seen" flag for mails or mailboxes so this way it is
impossible for any user who is able to read mail in the shared
mailboxes to find out whether or not anyone else already has read
and possibly answered new mail. Is there a way to work around
this condition? Reading the cyrus man pages I hoped that the "s"
ACL setting would be doing right what I need here but obviously
it didn't work.
IMAP seen states are kept per-user, but the other flags are persistent
and visible across any users viewing the mailbox. So, you should
definitely see that a given message has been answered, and by convention
you can use a different flag for meaning seen by the group.
