" Maildir: Per-user \Seen flag
With Maildir a dovecot-shared file controls if the \Seen flags are shared or private. "
The SEEN status is "encoded" in the filesystem in Maildir not Dovecot index file per default.
Thanks, yes, I figured it out from a similar discussion going on in here last week. I just created an empty "dovecot-shared" file in that mailbox and it worked like a charm. Checked the docs later - the phrasing that mentions this file is not too clear, maybe adding a note like "make sure you create this (empty) file in the mailbox" would help.
Anyway, from the info I gathered, I assume my concept of providing a shared INBOX should work with no problems which is great.
