New If it's all IMAP, then yes, that's how it should work.
I have three clients connecting to my own IMAP server and it works just as you described. You might want to check that all accesses to your mailbox are indeed via IMAP.

'Marked Read' is an IMAP attribute, yes. In actuality, it's not quite that simple because there's another flag that the server uses to show that no client has seen this email and they interact a little but. However, the interaction is documented in the RFC and it's not hard for clients to get it right.

New Yahoo says it's POP only
But it also has an option to only retrieve new mail. Still not sure how they'd implement it. Just going to try the option and see what happens. (But considering it's been months since I thought to check from the Yahoo account, I don't imagine I'm going to spend that much time working on it.)

New Then you have a problem.
POP doesn't function very well with 'leaving mail behind' because that's not what it's designed for. There are hacks to do it, but there is special magic required in the client and a lot of them don't care. That's why Yahoo fetched all the email you have ever received: because as far as the server is concerned, you *haven't* received it yet. Even though Evolution is able to give you the fiction that you have.
