In your example, \Seen is not listed as a PERMANENTFLAG. Therefore, any changes to \Seen take place in the session only, and not in the mailbox itself. If you think about it, it makes sense. Just because you are examining a mailbox doesn't mean that you don't want to keep track of what you've read in your client. You just don't want the mailbox to change.
