Bob,

No I haven't, we are using a 'stock' RHEL4 server with php and it's so
modules. But this is not the cause of the problem.

I can reproduce this also with a server only running imap2004 or
imap2007 and one outlook client with 2 accounts, one pop3 one imap.

I send an e-mail to my test account and read it with imap, so
it's status is 'read' and that works. If I check my mail on the same
account with pop3, it is unread again. This is with imap2007, with
imap2004 the message has a flag status 'read' when it is read and is
flagged new when it remained untouched.


best regards,
Andres Henckens
