IMAP read-only mailbox and \Seen

|#969: mutt-1.3.25i: Can't clear the 'N' (unseen) flag on read-only IMAP
folders
|Package: mutt ; Reported by: Rik Harris <Rik.Harris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>;

Hi, I'm running mutt 1.5.5.1-20040112+1 on debian/testing/unstable.
I've the same problem :
Mutt can't set the Seen flag on read-only imap mailboxes.
(I'm using courier-imap 1.4.3-2.3, quite old, yes,
working, yes, stable, yes, debian stable, yes ;-))
Here is the mutt tcpflow dump :
LIST (\Noselect) "." "".

It's not possible with mutt to set the Seen or the New flag...
Here is the dump with sylpheed as client of the same imap server :
7 SELECT shared.lists.amanda-announce@amand_org.

As you can see, sylpheed can and sets the flag Seen (or any other)
The imap server remember them (for courier, it's stocked as a file, with S at
the end :
1076624329.13804.nest.8d.com:2,S ->
/usr/local/mail/ntch.dyndns.org/shared-lists/.shorewall-devel@lists_shorewall_net/cur/1076624329.13804.nest.8d.com:2,S)
Is there any working solution for mutt to be able to set Seen/Answered... flag
for read only Imap folders ?
thanks
