Using Gmail IMAP without marking message as read?

in other words:
We are using one IMAP account with multiple email clients, but we are
facing one issue that if we read a particular mail in one of the email
client (say outlook) then that particular mail in other email client
get read status, (where the users who are using same email account in
other email client get confused whether they have read or unread that
mail.)
We want that in other email client that particular mail should remain
as Unread ,
In other words what we want is every email client should show the read
unread status individually and which should not get sync with server .
Is that possible , and if yes please guide us for the same

note: i need to user imap and not pop3

In Outlook you can write some VBA to accomplish this. Examples here: http://www.outlookcode.com (download Sue’s code examples)
in Thunderbird you can write an Extension in Javascript: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=19

are not there solutions without writing codes?

Alla email clients are designed to mark an email as read. You have a few options:
Thunderbird: http://email.about.com/od/mozillathunderbirdtips/qt/et_mark_read.htm
Outlook: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/microsoft-office/make-outlook-2007-mark-items-as-read-when-viewed-in-reading-pane

i see that no solution for my problem !
