That's correct. You have to think of an IMAP session as an
all-encompassing state machine. Everything an IMAP client sends
to a server is merely a suggestion. Nothing changes until the
server sends something to the client saying a change has taken
place.
E.g., the client cannot mark a message as "deleted" unless and until
the server sends it something stating the \Deleted flag has been
set on that message, no matter how many times the client has tried
setting that flag.
