Bugzilla

This happens with imap but there's a workaround: Select all the messages in the search folder (ctrl-a), right click any message and then choose Mark->As Read. Don't choose Mark->All Read.

I also checked with Local Folders and it's worse. When you make a search folder from a folder that has all it's messages marked unread (bold), the search folder message(s) are read (not bold). Then when you select the search folder, all the unread messages in the original folder get set to read (not bold).
Note: My Local Folders are in Maildir format so that might be causing it, not sure.

Then I tried it on a pop3 folder in Mbox format. See the same problem as with imap but don't see the issue with Local Folder in maildir.

Finally, I tried this on an imap account running on an old laptop that still has tb 68 running. It works fine with that on imap (only tried imap on 68). However, 68 had no "Mark Folder Read" selection and only a selection on message right-click Mark->All Read. Unlike with current TB, doing ```Mark->All Read``` on a search folder only affects the messages in the search folder and not ALL the messages in the original folder.

So based on this, this bug appears to be a regression.

Edit: Tried the STR on a Local Folder that is using Mbox. I see the same results as with IMAP and POP3. So the instant marking as read that I saw with Local Folders/Maildir must be due to maildir.
