[imp] Horde IMP and Exchange

Hi,

I'm testing Horde v2.1 and IMP v2.21 to pick up my mail from an account on a
FreeBSD based server. It is running in a chroot jail but I don't think that
would affect anything.

All is working as I'd expect except for when I configure a 'fetchmail'
account to pick up mail via IMAP from another account that resides on an
Exchange 2003 server(The same happens on an Exchange 2000 too.) 

The mail is collected from the account but any new messages are marked as
read on the server so when I come to read the mail in a mail client (tried
various clients) there are no 'new' messages.
If the mail is picked up directly through the client the messages appear as
I'd expect. 

I've also tried configuring a server using fetchmail to pick up mail from
the Exchange server account to see if I could get that to work but had the
same problem (which suggests to me its an Exchange thing).

The same occurs when I've tried POP3 in the fetchmail account settings too 

I've tried various forums, searches etc but cant find out if this is a
common problem/setup and what the solution is.

I'd like to get other people on this system but as most of them are Exchange
users there would be complaints with the way things stand.
Any help or advice gratefully received, even if its just telling me to give
up!

Regards

Matt
