I ran into this, and I believe it was mozilla's fault when I saw it. Mozilla did not recognize the s privlidge as allowing it to mark messages as seen. It wanted w privlidges before it would mark messages as seen. The way I found this, was I made a directory /var/imap/log/<username>/ and then looked at the client-server interactions that were dumped there. Mozilla did not even attempt to mark the messages as seen before I gave the user w privlidges. That might be worth checking first.
