Which I am hoping is a true statement if someone reads mail. (In this 
case, things like 'new status' indicators and such).

I stand corrected. I just tested it, and it's *not* updating the 'X-IMAP:' 
line all the time. The only thing it does consistently is re-write that 
internal message with a new 'From ... (date)' line..... (sigh)

....which still leaves me trying to figure the best method of determining 
when a user has been *reading* the mailbox..... I would really rather NOT 
be reading through mail logs to find a login....

Hmmmm. Can I 'trick up' dovecot to generate an extra log record to a 
*sepearate* file when someone logs-in? I suppose I could just have dovecot
log to its own separate log file......

Thanks for the responses....
