Seen Flags per User

[Maurice Kunze]

Hello,

now i found another error. When i click on an email in the client its 
marked an read or unread when i mark it that way. Now when i change the 
folder and come back to the shared folder the mail i just read is unread 
again. When i restart the Mail client it will be displayed like it 
should be but it always needs that restart of the mail client. I also 
tried 3 different mail clients to exclude the error from the mail client.
