Yeah, I would probably accept a well-written patch that implemented this as an option such as 'popmarkseen' or something. My guess is that this would operate similar to DELE where RETR would set an internal flag on the message list, but the actual \Seen state would only be changed during QUIT. RSET would clear the internal flags and NOT update \Seen state. Doing the internal flag piece is trivial and would be the same as 'deleted' in pop3d.c. The hard part is actually updating \Seen state. All of the code that is needed can be extracted from index.c. -- Kenneth Murchison Systems Programmer Project Cyrus Developer/Maintainer Carnegie Mellon University Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

Hello, Thanks for the answer but the answer was not do I need this or not, I've asked how to do it. I'll try to explain why I need this and I beleive that not only I am. I use Cyrus in a hosting inviroment because it's stable, fast and feature rich server. Most of my (hosting) clients uses POP3 to get their mails form the server, almost all of them leaves the messages on the server for a 5-20 days, about a half of them uses webamil access to read their mail from home, from places other than office and this is a place where we need all read mails marked as read.

The client downloads the messages, then *it* tracks which messages are read. For obvious reasons, you don't want to mark messages as read merely because they have been downloaded. Tricks played with the deprecated LAST command are not reliable. The feature you want can only be done by modifying the POP3 client to use IMAP to mark messages as read when messages left on the server are read by the POP3 client. I doubt you'll be able to convince any developer to make such a modification, since IMAP already provides this functionality. IOW, switch to IMAP.

Yann But as Jorey Bumb said, wouldn't it be easier to just switch to IMAP and offer your customers a better protocol than POP3? I don't see why you are still offering POP when IMAP provides what you want in the first place. Plus from the sound of it, you are keeping all the messages left on the server anyway, so in essence you are already running IMAP! Don't mean to sound like I am ranting, just my .02. -Jarod Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html

Hi, I need the Cyrus POP3 server marks all messages read by client but left on server as read. How to do this? Thanks, G. Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
