Which Dovecot version? I don't remember about 0.99.x, but I think
1.0-tests/stables should do it. It's also configurable in those
versions:

  # Don't try to set mails non-recent or seen with POP3 sessions. This is
  # mostly intended to reduce disk I/O. With maildir it doesn't move files
  # from new/ to cur/, with mbox it doesn't write Status-header.
  #pop3_no_flag_updates = no
