Well, not necessarily immediately, at least not all servers. A NOOP
command should refresh flags and other things with most servers. 

Hmm. Dovecot's current behavior is that doing a FETCH FLAGS just after
its flags had changed in another session first returns one FETCH FLAGS
with the old flags (the FETCH reply), then another FETCH FLAGS with the
updated flags (after it noticed the changes). It would be simple to
change it to return the updated flags immediately. I suppose I should do
that..
