If you get an empty response, then no shared seen state.
question. It is not feasable to try to set the annotation on a test
folder for each connection IMO. So best would be if there would be a
SHAREDSEEN or so capability.
I would support standardizing of such IMAP capability.
Technically it would be required to test with every mailbox not only with each
connection. E.g. there are sometimes reasons why the shared seen is only
available for some namespaces.
IMHO probing each mailbox or each namesapce is not an option and would pervert
the efficiency of IMAP especially over high latency low bandwidth links.
No, I had something else in mind - return this capability if at least
one mailbox is known to support shared seen state.
This might benefit other IMAP servers more, e.g. if a server is known to
only support shared seen state, or always support shared seen state for
a particular mailbox.
On the other hand capabilities should not be expanded without good reasons.
What about a server provided GETANNOTATION answer?

Alexey
