Hello,
i want to configure seen flags per user for shared public mailboxes in dovecot. I have added the INDEVPVT Option to the location parameter in the namespace and restarted the services and the server. Unfortunately nothing changed and there are still global seen flags in the configuration. In a post i read that i have to manually add some files to the location but this isnt specified in the documentation.
below is the version we use and the config.
dovecot --version 2.3.13 (89f716dc2)
