It is possible to achieve this by using an IMAP server.  This appears
to be somewhat overkill in your case, but I know of no other solution.

Hm.

Though Gnus _does_ maintain the unseen sequence in nnmh groups, so it
_might_ be possible to use MH as the common format.  But that does
not appear to be a very good solution.

Hm.

But what about nnmaildir?  Doesn't nnmaildir store the marks in the
server, too?  So this could be a solution.  I've never used
nnmaildir, so I'm not sure.  Anyone?
