Hi,
Sounds to me like it can be implemented using sieve.
Something like "if is in inbox & is read & is older than n days; then mark as 
unread".
But this means you need to redeliever this mail somehow. Maybe like this:

Hi,

I would like to implement a 43Folder system[1] with dovecot and a mail user 
agent.

Use case:

- I have a new mail in my inbox. I read it and see that I can't handle it now. 
I want to handle this mail in 5 days.
- Now I want to have some sort of resubmission: the mail should be moved to a 
different location for these 5 days.
- After 5 days the mail should be moved to my inbox again.

How can this be done with Dovecot/IMAP?

I have programming experience, but I am new to Dovecot/IMAP.

I would like solve this with Dovecot only (without a database or web server).

Does the IMAP protocol over methods which could help?
