Problem with per-user \Seen flag on public folder

17 May 2021

      Hello
I have noticed that when per-user \Seen flag is configured dovecot do
not respond properly to 'store' command. eg.:
===============
42 uid store 6 +Flags (\Seen)
42 OK Store completed (0.001 + 0.000 secs).
43 IDLE

idling
DONE
43 OK Idle completed (3.204 + 3.203 + 3.203 secs).

Thunderbird is confused by this and read emails turns into unread after
a while.
When global flag is stored dovecot responds as it should, I think:
===============
32 uid store 3 -Flags (\Flagged)

2 FETCH (UID 3 FLAGS ())
32 OK Store completed (0.002 + 0.000 + 0.001 secs).
33 IDLE

idling
DONE
33 OK Idle completed (5.362 + 5.362 + 5.361 secs).

When per-user \Seen flag is not configured:
===============
25 uid store 6 +Flags (\Seen)

4 FETCH (UID 6 FLAGS (\Seen))
25 OK Store completed (0.002 + 0.000 + 0.001 secs).
26 IDLE

OK Still here
DONE
26 OK Idle completed (65.076 + 65.076 + 65.076 secs).
