Hi,
I'm running Dovecot 1.2.17 on FreeBSD 9 to serve an archive of a few
internal mailinglists. The archive is implemented using a public namespace:
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix =
inbox = yes
}
namespace public {
separator = /
prefix = Lists/
location =
maildir:/home/vmail/lists/Maildir:CONTROL=~/Maildir/lists:INDEX=~/Maildir/lists
subscriptions = no
}
As you can see, the CONTROL/INDEX files are stored per-user to allow
private \Seen flags. The different mailinglists are all sent to the
'lists' user which has a Sieve script to file them into different
folders, so I have directories on my harddisk like
/home/vmail/lists/Maildir/.somelist
/home/vmail/lists/Maildir/.anotherlist
Now, I'd like to mark the mail in *one* of those folders as \Seen by
default. If the INDEX files weren't per-user, it would simply be a
matter of using 'addflag "\Seen";' in the Sieve script of the lists
user. Alas, this has no effect.
Hence my question - how can I have the mail of just one mailinglist get
marked as "read" for all users?
So far, the only option I see is to add a second public namespace, with
a different prefix - and this namespace doesn't use private
CONTROL/INDEX files. However, I'd like to keep using the "Lists" prefix
if possible to avoid too many changes to the clients.
