[Dovecot] read/unread flags broken in rc19 ?

[Chris Wakelin]

You could try reverting the last CVS update before rc19,
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-cvs/2007-January/007505.html as
suggested in the earlier threads:

It seems to have helped me with read/unread flags, but I've still seen
some oddities. Reply flags also seem broken. Time for more testing!
