This problem is apparently about changeset http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/eec74a6ad62e. This change makes dovecot behaviour different from what is described in wiki, about sharing and making private /Seen flags, see http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes?highlight=(flags are shared or private) When I've tried to revert it, first time with my client it worked perfectly. But then clients were not able to open any mail folders, and imap processes were dying.

Hi, I'm trying to use dovecot for storing mailing lists and read-only access for users. The OS is Solaris, authentication for all readers of these lists are from Ldap through PAM, and one local user "listuser" will receive all mail and store them into it's folders (Maildirs). These maildirs are readable (read-only) for all others and they are shared by setting
mail_location: maildir:/home/vmail/listuser/Maildir:CONTROL=/home/vmail/%u/Maildir/control:INDEX=/home/vmail/%u/Maildir/index
Mail became readable because in each mail folder to be shared there is dovecot-shared with mode 064, and all users included into his group.
But this is the problem: how to have flag \Seen stored in read-only mailbox? As recorded by rawlog, it is ignored now:
