The STATUS command does allow you to get unseen count on any mailbox to which you have the 'r' ACL right - it does not require you to actually select the mailbox to get the count. Unfortunately the 'r' right does allow that user to also open the mailbox in read-only mode so the message data would be exposed. If having access to the message data were not an issue, what you could do is setup a user that has 'r' rights to each of the mailboxes of other users you want to examine, and then you just issue status commands for those mailboxes to get the unseen count. -- Cyrus Daboo
