Re: set status of mails in maildirs?

I use the following to set the "flagged" flag:

:0
* my-regexp-here
{ TRAP='mv $LASTFOLDER ${LASTFOLDER}:2,F' }
:0
my-maildir-mail-box/

It works like a charm.  To mark the mail as READ rather than "flagged"
the filename extension should be R rather than F, i.e.

{ TRAP='mv $LASTFOLDER ${LASTFOLDER}:2,R' }

but I haven't tested this.


It should be:

----8<----------------------------------------------------------
:0
* my-regexp-here
{ 
  :0fw
  |formail -I Status: RO

  TRAP='mv $LASTFOLDER ${LASTFOLDER}:2,S'

  :0
  my-maildir-mail-box/
}
----8<----------------------------------------------------------

and since he use Maildir-Format, ${LASTFOLDER} should be

----8<----------------------------------------------------------------
:0
* my-regexp-here
{ 
  :0fw
  |formail -I Status: RO

  TRAP='mv $LASTFOLDER `echo ${LASTFOLDER} |sed 's|/new/|/cur/|'`:2,S'

  :0
  my-maildir-mail-box/
}
----8<----------------------------------------------------------------

And if you do not want o be bothered by mutt using courier-imap, you
must put

    `echo ${LASTFOLDER} |sed 's|/new/|/cur/|'`:2,S'

also in ${FOLDER}/courierimapuiddb which has the format:

1 ${UNIX_SERIALDATE} ${N+3}
N+1 ${filename},S=xxxx
N+2 ${filename},S=xxxx

which mean, you have to update

  1.  The ${UNIX_SERIALDATE} using `date +%s`
  2.  Adding the new filename with size as N+3
  3.  increasing the number ${N+3} to ${N+4}
  4.  touching the FOLDER with the same time of the ${INIX_SERIALDATE}

and now, courier-imap will never know, that you have fooled it...  :-)
Since it is a little bit more complex, I would it pack into a SHELL
script and call it with

  TRAP='fool_courier ${LASTFOLDER}'
