I didn't realize I could do this with imtest. This morning I used the command (bash shell loop) as root (for the find to find the user's folders): cd /var/spool/imap find user/$user -type d -print | sed 's,/,.,g' | sed 's/^/"/' | sed 's/$/"/' | while read folder do echo 1 select $folder > /tmp/c1 echo "2 uid store 1:* +flags (\seen)" >> /tmp/c1 echo 3 logout >> /tmp/c1 imtest -a cyrus -w $password -u ejsg localhost < /tmp/c1 done I found no errors from the command's output, nor did I find any errors in /var/log/maillog, but the user says the message is still marked 'unread' by Outlook. What can I try next or what can I look for why this is not working? I'll set a bunch of my messages to 'unread' and try the same command on my account.
