Dovecot doesn't give error in such case, because some clients (probably Outlook too) would start showing user alert boxes every time when a message is read, complaining about not having permissions to change message flags.

I checked both Outlook 2007 and 2010. The "red" flag get updated in local PST file, but not on the server. There is also no warning about the failure. Outlook Express behaves exactly the same. Although, eventually sync does happen after some period of time... \Seen flag behaves differently. Outlook allows to change it locally, but synchronizes it back when user exits and then enters the same folder, providing quite a bizarre experience.

Unfortunately, mail clients do not always cooperate, Outlook in particular still allows to set message flags in folders without "wst" ACLs. Can somebody recommend comparative analysis with configuration options?
You mean Outlook actually allows changing flags on the server? Or it just changes the flags locally? They don't get reset with restart?
