Hello,

One of my users wants to be able to deliver email (e.g. via a procmail script) and mark it *read* when it's delivered. We use Maildir as our mail storage format. I have a bit of a hack script put together that will do it by directly manipulating the Maildir (it delivers the email using safecat, and then renames the file into the "cur" directory with the necessary flags appended to the file name), but this is a hack at best, and has the problem that if Dovecot is monitoring the file, it could potentially fail to work---there is a race between delivery and renaming.

I've been slowly moving our site in the direction of using the Dovecot LDA to deliver mail. Is there a way (via a plugin, maybe?) to get the LDA to mark mail as "read" when it is delivered?
