"Why would you want to? This is a good thing. Think of it as new==unread, cur==read." "I can't imagine why you'd want to do this anyway. Can you explain?" In a company where an email account like info@xxxxxxxxx exists it must been seen from many employees due to the nature of the company. Many clients place orders, questions etc. using the above email address. Consiquently, the employee who is responsible for an email will answer accordingly. However, if an employee open an email throu Squirrelmail-webmail and realise after reading it that the specific email is not his responsibility then the rest of the employee who use MUA's (Outlook, Thunderbird, Evolution, etc.) will not be able to read it because it has already moved to 'cur' directory. So, does exist a way that I can avoid the moving of the new emails to the 'cur' directory??
