Hello,

I am trying to setup a shared mailbox for a small team. Let's say Alice and Bob 
both need to read and answer sa...@example.com. I would like Alice and Bob to 
retain private \Seen flags on sa...@example.com. I know I can achieve that with 
INDEXPVT on shared or public mailboxes but I am not 100% happy with this 
solution because:

- Thunderbird displays sa...@example.com/Inbox and sa...@example.com/Sent as 
"subscribed folders" within al...@example.com and b...@example.com. So Alice 
and Bob can't use the unified view of Thunderbird.

- I need create a special identity in Alice and Bob Thunderbird's configuration 
so the sender is sa...@example.com when Alice or Bob sends an email from 
sa...@example.com (and not al...@example.com or b...@example.com). But I am not 
sure another email client is able to do that (on a mobile phone for example).

- I need to add ACL rights if a new folder is created under sa...@example.com.

So I am now looking at the "master users" feature of Dovecot to replicate this 
MS Exchange setup 
https://www.en.its.aau.dk/instructions/Mail/shared-mailbox-thunderbird/ 
(al...@example.com and b...@example.com log is as sa...@example.com). I 
achieved that but I don't know how to retain private \Seen flags so that Bob 
doesn't see an email as read even if Alice has marked it as read before.

Is it possible to retain private \Seen flags with master users? If yes, how can 
I achieve that?

Thank you for any help!

PS: I posted the same question on https://forum.iredmail.org/post77816.html and 
https://forum.iredmail.org/topic13549-proposal-for-a-exchange-like-shared-mailbox-aka-login-as.html
 but I couldn't get help and was advised to ask here.
