Phil,
Are you trying to find out how dovecot marks emails as unread?
Assuming you are using maildir format, it appears to be encoded as flags in the email filename on disk.
It’s briefly covered in 'Filename examples' https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir https://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir
And in 'What can I put in info?' https://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html https://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html

It is a long-standing problem and upgrading RCM is not a solution . .
- occasionally I would like to re-mark a dir as having new mail so that the dir shows up as blue-coloured in RCM. please dont modify mails outside of imap protocol,
Then how do I do what I want with IMAP?
if you use roundcube it will not be needed to mangle shell accounts
That comment doesn't make sense . .
Every time I Google in vain and then have a go at working it out myself if google have no answer to it, its simple not supported
Quite frequently not true . .
but the only thing I can see is that there is a change in the appropriate dir dovecot.index.log file after having the blue dir clicked on dont mangle files outside of imap protocol
You already said that - what is your solution then?
(and the colour of the dir name changes back to black) - so is the information stored somewhere in RCM itself? no
OK, overall not a very helpful response . . but thanks anyway.
