For the postfix-users list, I see that there are 6 recent messages. And if I do the list of mailboxes command again, it returns the same count. Then if I go and look at the postfix-users folder with my iphone, I see that I have 11 unseen messages. And without opening a single message, I went back to my other MUA and listed the folders, and now I have 0 unseen messages for 'postfix-users'

I'll have to see if I can log the commands sent by my iPhone from the server side to see what's going on here. But as you can see, it's an annoying behavior.

It might be annoying but I know for a fact being a iPhone user myself that iPhone uses SELECT to open a folder and per-RFC dovecot then must update the flags.
