AFAIK the "Seen" Flag is not maintained on a per user basis.

I do the delivery to the public folders via the "aliases" mechanism and
the "safecat" program <http://jeenyus.net/~budney/linux/software/safecat.html>
which delivers messages from stdin to a Maildir specified on the cmdline.
Along with the safecat comes a "maildir" sh-script that is a wrapper for
safecat and makes things shorter.

    info: "|/usr/local/bin/maildir /var/spool/pubfolders/.info"
    contact: "|/usr/local/bin/maildir /var/spool/pubfolders/.info"
    sales: "|/usr/local/bin/maildir /var/spool/pubfolders/.sales"

To work around permission problems I have made the safecat programm
setuid dovecot user, executable for owner and group and gave it to the group
postfix handles aliases deliveries with, e.g.:
    ---s--x--- 1 dovecotu mail 21024 Oct 19 14:26 /usr/local/bin/safecat

HTH,
