I get exactly the same thing between KMail 4.14 (on my Mac) and KMail 4.13 (on my Linux rig). The former will ignore most of the state changes made by the latter but not vice versa (read state usually does update, but things like "flagged" or "action item" don't). I would have guessed that bug be fixed in an early 5.x version .... but maybe it's a feature instead?
