Don't see what you mean,... I want to be able to mark mail as seen or
unseen, depending on how I filter them... filtering is the task of the
MDA (in this case maildrop)...
It sets (or should do so) some flags in the maildir filename... which
the imap server then sees and interprets accordingly.
In principle it's not only "S"een that could be interesting but all of:
   Flag "P" (passed): the user has resent/forwarded/bounced this
message to someone else.
   Flag "R" (replied): the user has replied to this message.
   Flag "S" (seen): the user has viewed this message, though perhaps
he didn't read all the way through it.
   Flag "T" (trashed): the user has moved this message to the trash;
the trash will be emptied by a later user action.
   Flag "D" (draft): the user considers this message a draft; toggled
at user discretion.
   Flag "F" (flagged): user-defined flag; toggled at user discretion.
(not sure whether T makes really sense though)

Maybe you have a maildrop filter, that generates some automatic
replies,... and you'd like to mark this accordingly.


Cheers,
Philippe.
