Roger, I'm guessing that the IMAP server is updating or renaming the stored messages when you access them, which is causing the POP server to see them as new. That's probably because it's recording in the message file that the message has been read. The combination of Dovecot IMAP server with Maildir mailbox repository is fairly popular and that uses a message file rename to signal that the message has been read. <http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html>
Using a mix of POP and IMAP is probably bad anyway - with the setup you describe you probably just want to stick to POP. IMAP assumes that the mailbox and folders all live on the server and you access them from multiple devices, but if your quota is small or you want to back them up yourself, then the IMAP model isn't a good fit.
