IMO this would be correct behaviour, and the corollary is that you shouldn't mix and match your email protocols.
I'm trying many things at the moment. First, I disabled the pop3 account in icedove, but this had no effect at all.Second, I visited the yahoo webmail interface in order to turn off the pop3 access option. Then, I sent dummy mails to my account and yes, they arrived as "unread messages", so "issue 1" seems solved...
...but, the tricky thing is that I can't turn off the pop3 option WITHOUT setting up a mail transfert...! This is really stupid: it is impossible to disable the two options at the same time! In order to continue my investigations, I created another yahoo mail account to receive these mail transfers and see what happens. This is really annoying.
NicolasNote: the mail account that initially have issues is an old yahoo account (created in 1999) and is maybe not supported like the recent ones. The new account I created today (and of course access via imap) seems to receive messages as expected (i.e. "marked as unread") but server-side filters (i.e. defined via the webmail interface) do not work when accessed via imap (it seems they work only with webmail/pop3 "accesses").
