Hi list

I'm trying to set up shared public folders with individual SEEN flags. I've set up three test users, but as soon as one of them marks a mail in the public folder as seen or unseen, that change is propagated to all three users. If I watch the dovecot.index.log file in each user's directory for the public folder, I see all three change their last access time as soon as one user changes the SEEN status of a mail.

Any hints as to what I'm doing wrong gratefully received, thanks.
