But would that be right? If I copy an old (not-recent) message into another 
mailbox, I'm not sure I want it flagged 'recent' in its new location. I'd 
prefer the 'recent' state to be like any other flag, and be preserved with 
the message - either on or off.

You pre-empted my next question! I was half-expecting Sieve to be available 
as a separate server, but it looks like it needs to be integrated into the 
IMAP server. It's clearly the way Cyrus does it. Any plans?
