Re: [Dovecot] LDA directly to Maildir/cur

...

i would like to simulate an automatic "mark as read" feature during procmail processing. simplest way looks to be forcing
delivery directly to Maildir/cur instead of Maildir/new, but i suspect this
may screw up dovecot.

If you deliver directly to Maildir/cur, and make sure you set the 'S' flag on the message, then to Dovecot, it will appear as if another Maildir-aware client read the message.

thanks for the help. initial testing indicates this should work, and
be more efficient than a client-side marking, but the procmail recipe
won't be very elegant or easy to understand. then again, they never
are.
