According to Wikipedia¹, it seems that Yahoo! provides a non-standard
imap service so it can be hard to know what they are doing in the
backstage. And AFAIK, message status (read, deleted, unread...) is stored
on the server.
I would first try to configure your imap account with another MUA to see
if you get a different behaviour than with Icedove.

What kind of filters have you setup? Maybe they're what make the messages
to be marked as read. The more specific you be, the better :-)
