Hi,

It seems that IMAP flags can be changed in EXAMINE read-only mode. Luckily, messages cannot be expunged. This happens in both dovecot 1.0.12 and 1.1.rc3:

• OK Dovecot ready. 1 login *** *** 1 OK Logged in. 2 examine inbox
• FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft)
• OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Read-only mailbox.
• 1 EXISTS
• 1 RECENT
• OK [UNSEEN 1] First unseen.
• OK [UIDVALIDITY 1206865015] UIDs valid
• OK [UIDNEXT 2] Predicted next UID 2 OK [READ-ONLY] Select completed. 3 fetch 1:* flags
• 1 FETCH (FLAGS (\Recent)) 3 OK Fetch completed. 4 store 1:* +flags (\Deleted)
• 1 FETCH (FLAGS (\Deleted \Recent)) 4 OK Store completed. 5 fetch 1:* flags
• 1 FETCH (FLAGS (\Deleted \Recent)) 5 OK Fetch completed. 6 expunge 6 OK Expunge completed. 7 fetch 1:* flags
• 1 FETCH (FLAGS (\Deleted \Recent)) 7 OK Fetch completed.

Thanks, Ron
