Are you certain? The following commands seem to work just fine:

        doveadm flags add -A ‘\Recent’ OLD UNSEEN
        doveadm search -A NEW

Before I ran the first command, the second wouldn’t return anything, so \Recent 
does seem to be set via doveadm flags, doveadm fetch flags also seems to 
confirm this.

While you’re right that I should probably be using saved before, I’m trying to 
find an alternative to this specific command because it seems like it would be 
possible for a message that’s 7 days old to potentially to be opened by the 
user such that is flagged as seen, but is actually still being read when the 
command is run, allowing it to be expunged before the user has a chance to do 
anything with it. Or is the saved before value updated when flags are changed?
