BUG: sieve does not set seen-Flag

Tue Dec 4 17:36:05 EET 2018

Yes. I did it the same way, Larry described.

And i have in my sieve-script, which i use also for years the other
notation i tried before, many times in use.
The last month it did not recognize, that this rules won't work any
longer. Today i played around a little, then i saw, it won't work to set
the \Seen-Flag...

Please be aware, i can set Junk-Flag, and Thunderbird shows me the
Emails marked as Junk.
I can set the $label3-Flag, and Thunderbird shows me the Message marked
as personal.

Only the \Seen-Flag is not able to be set. Messages are always shown as
Unseen. Sometimes also as Recent...

Not when i set it in an own line with addflag.
Not when i set it with setflag as the only Flag.
Not when i set it together with other flags in one line. The other flags
are set. Only \Seen is not set.
