Hm, you mean the feature introduced by http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.2/rev/dbd42f7198eb ? Is there some discussion of the feature somewhere?

The commit log is a bit unclear to me, it says 'Per-user flags can now be stored in private index files.' however http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Public says 'By making each user have their own private index files, you can make the \Seen flag private for the users.' (using the INDEX setting).

Makes me wonder - the Wiki talks about 'private index files' when talking about 'INDEX' and the commit says 'private index files' talking about INDEXPVT - what is the difference? :-)
