I've never had a problem with read flags and fetchmail. That being said, 
I went with the first configuration I came up with that actually worked. 
I have a few extra pieces that may or may not be necessary -- I haven't 
read anything more than my local fetchmailrc file *that works* (on 
Debian stable):

user 'me' there with password '**' is 'me' here options fetchall

The two parts I've got are "here" and "options". I'm trying to remember 
what happens without the fetchall option, whether mail was marked as 
read or not -- I had it setup like that once before I got a stable 
configuration.

Hope my markedly more rudimentary configuration can shed a little light 
on your problem?
