You might also try kde-linux and/or kde-pim next door.  They are more 
focused groups, but I might this list may be able to provide some help.

Using dIMAP, IMAP, POP, or local?

I've seen this happen sometimes on dIMAP if I mark messages as read while I 
a downloading new mail.  The flags from the server end up overwriting 
local changes before the local chages are sent to the server.

It could also happen in IMAP if you end up refreshing the folder before all 
commands have been sent to the server.  Kmail will read flags from the 
server again, and see the messages as still unread.  Waiting a few moments 
and refreshing the folder again should end up showing the messages as 
read.
