You might enable the mail_log Plugin and log flag changes:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/MailLog

Something like this should help:

mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_log notify
plugin {
  mail_log_events = flag_change
  mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size flags vsize from subject
}

I also suggest to use some lightweight mail client like "mutt" for testing.
