You will run into problems if you use an iPhone to also access your
mail via IMAP as well, for some reason it marks all new email as SEEN,
even if they haven't been opened.  It's .... annoying to say the
least.  It's an iPhone issue from what I see.  The archives will have
more on this from three or four years ago when I last beat my head
against this.

Maybe it's time to fine a new iPhone mail client now that you can get
rid of the default iOS mail client if you like.
