[Dovecot] Using procmail to mark messages as read in dovecot
So, I use procmail extensively, and I have for a long time, but marking messages as 'read' in a Maildir has always been a little wonky:
TRAP='mv "$LASTFOLDER" "${LASTFOLDER}:2,S"'
Since I've switched to dovecot, is there a way to mark a message on delivery as read or not new or seen?

I am assuming that sieve acts as a LDA like procmail, so it's an either/or? I have a *lot* of procmail recipes I've written over the last 20 years or so.

Not nesessarily, you can make procmail hand over the message to dovecot-lda if you like:
Something lik this:
DELIVER="/usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda"
:0
* ^X-RSS-Feed: .*rss2email
| $DELIVER -m System.rss2email/works flawless.
This example is af course very symplified, I still use a nice procmail script to filter uot all my maillists befor handing over the rest to dovecot.

Ah, that is nice. I can run through my procmail recipes and then to dovecot-lda for sieve purposes. Can I pass a value to it for \\seen like
dovecot-lda -o setflag="\\Seen"?

you could mangle the flags in the filename yourself:
append :2, unless a : is present already append S for seen
move from new to cur filename =~ s!/new/!/cur/!
The flags following the "," _should_ be sorted, but Dovecot does not rely on it, IMHO.
Oh, websearch found: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-January/036297.html
Then there is
doveadm flags add -u user '\Seen' mailbox XYZ header message-id ABC
or something like that.

Perhaps I misinterpret your command above. But it isn't the folder you want to rename, but the file containing the message itself.
