Everyone sees the same > status of each messageSorry to resume this month-old thread, but I've realized just now the implications of what you wrote back then... Is that a Courier limitation or is it a fundamental law of thisuniverse? In other words, are you aware of any imap server that does not shareall metadata while letting me use virtual accounts?
In maildirs, the message metadata is a part of the filename. Everyone sees the same filename. If the file's name changes, everything sees the new filename. And since all accounts see the same file, everything sees the same message metadata.
If you want maildirs, this is what you're going to get.There are many other IMAP servers that use something other than maildirs. You need something other than maildirs or old-fashioned mbox files, though. You need something that uses its own custom mail storage. The only one I can think of would be Cyrus, but I do not recall, offhand, what it does with shared mail folders in terms of metadata. But I'm sure that there has to be at least a few other IMAP servers that you can look at.
