So you'd want all users to be able to have their own private flags? If
you create dovecot-shared file, the seen flag will be private, but
others will still be shared. This is currently hard coded, but it's
pretty easy to change from sources if you really want to:

src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-storage.c around line 544:

		mbox->private_flags_mask = MAIL_SEEN;

Change that to:

		mbox->private_flags_mask = MAIL_FLAGS_MASK;
