Looks like IMP is working just fine here.  UID 6 is flagged with the  
seen flag, just like what was asked.

>   S: * FLAGS (\Deleted \Seen \Answered \Flagged \Draft $Forwarded)

That is incorrect.  There MUST be a space between [+-]Flags and the  
flag (or flag-list).

This is incorrect syntax.  It should be:

3 UID STORE 10 +FLAGS \SEEN

The server should have returned a BAD response due to the incorrect  
syntax in the STORE command.  i.e. Dovecot 2.1 looks like this:

1 uid store 10 +FLAGS\SEEN
1 BAD Error in IMAP command UID STORE: Invalid arguments.

> 4 UID STORE 10 +FLAGS (\SEEN)
> * 8 FETCH (FLAGS (\SEEN) UID 10) ----------> here works.
> 4 OK UID command completed

Yes. this is correct.  This is also an equivalent statement:

4 UID STORE 10 +FLAGS \SEEN
