I'd like to revisit the issue of ticks on read-only nnimap servers.  On
a particular cyrus server, the select-result is: 

((((t
 ("OK"
  ("READ-WRITE")
  "Completed")
 ("FLAGS"
  ("\\Answered" "\\Flagged" "\\Draft" "\\Deleted" "\\Seen"
 "$Forwarded"))
 ("OK"
  ("PERMANENTFLAGS" "(\\Seen)"))
 ("2659" "EXISTS")
 ("0" "RECENT")
 ("OK"
  ("UIDVALIDITY" "1022333920"))
 ("OK"
  ("UIDNEXT" "15114"))
 ("OK"
  ("NOMODSEQ")
  "Sorry," "modsequences" "have" "not" "been" "enabled" "on" "this"
  "mailbox"))

Setting anything by \Seen will cause the response: 

 NO Permission denied

I need non-seen ticks to be handled by the client on this server.
