Hi All - I am using Mew with an IMAP server (Microsoft Exchange). Overall, Mew works great. However, when I read messages in Mew/Emacs, they are always marked as unread on the server. (They always are marked read in Mew, just not on the server.) Is there a way to command the server to remove the "unread" mark on the server whenever the messages are downloaded into Mew? I tried "C-u Z", "Z", and "x", and none of them remove the server's "unread" marks. According to Sec. 4.8 of the manual http://www.mew.org/en/info/release/mew_4.html#unread-mark the unread mark described as follows: ‘U’ Whether a message is read or not. This IMAP flag is \Seen. This is usually valid in %inbox only. Is there any way to issue this "\Seen" flag to the server, so that messages I have already read no longer have the "unread" mark on the server? Attached is my current .mew.el file. I tried with and without the (setq mew-use-unread-mark t) command at the end of the .mew.el file. Unfortunately, in either case when I read the messages in Mew, they are still marked as "unread" on the server.(Continue reading)
