Updating from F20 to F21 also involved updating to KDE 4.14.3 IIRC, and there 
were some changes to IMAP implementation in KDE PIM in 4.14 (some rather big 
changes and I can't say I'm happy with all of them myself).

Can you confirm that marking an email as read in the web ui, and then manually 
triggering mail sync in KMail does not sync the "read" status? If it is that 
case, please open a bug report on bugs.kde.org so it can be fixed upstream. 
I'll try to make sure the patch gets backported to Fedora packaging.

Cheers,
Daniel
