Sync /seen flag from server to devices connected via ActiveSync possible?

So how would I enable this on my server?  All my Android devices now run
4.4.2 and I would greatly like this "feature" to be enabled.  Is this a
change and recompile, or is it a configuration variable?

Thanks,
Troy

Unfortunately not. Android supports multiple calendars via Activesync since
4.4, and I explicitly enabled multiple calendar support by adding the device
type to the $ext_devices list in the syncroton source code.

For pre-4.4 devices, additional calendars are just ignored. Now, I have two
or more Calendars just called "Calendar". I suppose only the IMAP folder
name is used. Instead, there should be a more meaningful label such as
"Mike's Calendar" for shared calendars. 

I suppose iOS devices also just show "Calendar" as label for each shared
calendar?

Best,

Konstantin
