What does either of these prove?  Thunderbird may be explicitly  
flagging the message as Seen.

You will need to trace the IMAP traffic then (using something like  
wireshark, imapproxy with logging enabled, or debug output in bincimap  
if it supports it) to determine the exact IMAP commands sent to the  
server.  It still seems very unlikely that this is an IMP issue since  
thousands of people use IMP and nobody has reported this issue  
previously.

I have no idea if the c-client library is causing this.  Instructions  
on compiling the c-client library can be found in the PHP manual.
