I don't now wheather this is IMAP or actually dovecot-specific, but I hope you people here knows about this at least: Where are flags like seen/unseen or e.g. message-priority stored?

This is mail store specific. With maildir the seen flag is stored in maildir file name (http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html), with mbox it's stored in R flag in Status-header.

I don't know what you mean by message priority. That's most likely a client-specific variable which is never even sent to IMAP server.

My goal is to mark spam or other filtered by procmail as "seen", so that dovecot doesn't notify MUAs about new mail in IDLE mode.

It doesn't matter if message is seen or not, Dovecot still notifies client.
