Hello and thank you for your answer. I know https://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared and I successfully implemented it but I am not 100% happy for the 3x reasons described in my original message.
I understand the "exchange-like" solution described at https://forum.iredmail.org/topic13549-proposal-for-a-exchange-like-shared-mailbox-aka-login-as.html leverages the master user feature of Dovecot to reach my goal (retain private \Seen flag without using the Shared mailbox feature). Or am I missing something?? Basically, my question is: Is it possible to retain private \Seen flags between sa...@example.com*al...@example.com and sa...@example.com*b...@example.com?
