Sorry, I only now realized that my IMAP session wasn't very useful since 
the dovecot-acl file didn't allow my user to modify the \Seen flag (it 
only allowed it for the user which runs the Sieve script filing the mail 
into the archive [and marking it as seen]) in the first place.

If I relax the ACL, I can mark the mail as seen myself. I guess that 
means the question is - why didn't the sieve_before manage to set the 
flag in all cases.
