This doesn't really work with IMAP/POP3 protocols. It requires Exchange
or something else.

What would be possible is to check if a user has _downloaded_ your
message, but many clients download messages immediately when they arrive
so it might not be very useful. And in any case Dovecot has no such
feature.
