Virtual accounts and virtual shared folders are better, but with virtual shared folders all message metadata is shared. Everyone sees the same status of each message
Is that a Courier limitation or is it a fundamental law of this universe? In other words, are you aware of any imap server that does not share all metadata while letting me use virtual accounts?
In maildirs, the message metadata is a part of the filename. Everyone sees the same filename. If the file's name changes, everything sees the new filename. And since all accounts see the same file, everything sees the same message metadata.
If you want maildirs, this is what you're going to get.
There are many other IMAP servers that use something other than maildirs. You need something other than maildirs or old-fashioned mbox files, though. You need something that uses its own custom mail storage.
Another possibility is replicated maildirs. Rather than accessing the same storage, different users have their own copy of each message. (I'd do that with .courier. Probably it could also be done using links, if the trouble were worth the gain.) That way, users have no clue as to whether anyone else already read or replied to a message.
