dovecot - Oct 2010 - strange behavior with virtual accounts and imap

hi,
I've recently setup new mailserver with dovecot and postfix. They use 
mysql and virtual accounts.
All works perfectly except..
There is one group account named info, all the mail is forwarded to 
every other account. Users download their mail via Outlook (2003, 2007) 
with imap. If someone downloads email send to info and delete it after 
that. Outlook stoke the message and doesn't delete it immediately, thats 
normal. But if later someone else downloads his mail and it have 
received the same letter to info. The message appear as if it's already 
deleted by that user. But is supposed to be unreaded.
I cant find any info why is this happening. Please help

Here, this sounds like info@ is a 'list'...

IMAP protocol is where mail is stored on the SERVER... yes, when an IMAP
client connects, a COPY is downloaded locally for reading, but the
server retains the main/working copy.

It sounds like all of them are simply talking to the same IMAP account
(info@) - in which case, that's the way IMAP works. If multiple people
are connecting to the same account (or shared folder) over IMAP, and one
person deletes a message, it is deleted for all...

Sounds like you want POP accounts, not IMAP...
