Does it happen without user intervention? ie. you leave it selected and
it unreads itself? Or do you perform actions in the middle such as
browsing other folders?

Please run with
 CAMEL_DEBUG=imapx:io evolution
and check whether evolution is marking it as read on the server (or if
for instance another program marked it as unread).
