Summary:

If I'm reading an email in an IMAP account (including Gmail and iClioud) on an iPhone, and I quit the app while the message is still open, then go to a different device connected to the same IMAP account and delete that email, the next email to that account will be marked as read by iOS Mail.

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Open email message in an IMAP account on iPhone
2) Leave Mail on iPhone
3) On another device associated with that IMAP account, remove the email from the Inbox
4) Receive a new email to that IMAP account

Expected Results:

 - Notification that a new email has arrived on all devices associated with the account
 - The email marked as unread in the inboxes of devices associated with the account

Actual Results:

 - Notification of new email on iPhone that is dismissed immediately, disappearing from lock screen
 - Email marked as unread in the inbox of the IMAP account

Notes:

This has been a problem since iOS 4
