(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.
This is a desired functionality for me too.
While it is implemented (if it is) I'm using this method: for each shared folder I create a subfolder named (say) "managed" and instruct my users to move any answered/managed message to this subfolder.
