Original description:

Charles has noticed this multiple times. The latest was reproduced something
like this:

  1. Leave Geary open
  2. Read messages in a folder via Gmail interface
  3. Wait an extended amount of time
  4. Return to Geary. Open the folder

At first Geary will show the messages as unread. Only after a moment do they
appear as read. No actual bug (the flag appear correctly after they're
updated), but a slight visual disturbance to the user.

The problem (I think) is that the background AccountSynchronizer only
synchronizes message contents but doesn't update their flags when examining
the folder; this was one step in helping with our 100% CPU problem a while
back. Thus, the database keeps up-to-date with messages (which appear
instantly when switching to the folder) but not their flags. They're updated
only when the client switches to the folder where a "full" normalization pass
is performed.

It probably makes sense for the background synchronizer to occassionally do a
full background normalization pass, to get the flags synchronized.
