Hi.

It seems to me the source code contains already quite a few
protocol-specific options:

https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/src/tool_getparam.c

  {"$q", "ftp-skip-pasv-ip",         ARG_BOOL},
  {"*V", "aws-sigv4",                ARG_STRING},
  {"$G", "delegation",               ARG_STRING},
  {"*e", "disable-epsv",             ARG_BOOL},

Adding an extra option, maybe "mail-seen" would not be a betrayal.

Other possibilities would be to use the URL query string or fragment
string:

	imaps://$server/$folder?seen=false
	imaps://$server/$folder#seen=false

Regards,
