Bug 8395 was written to address this problem dated 6/17/99 and it  was marked as
a dup of bug#7513, which has been marked as Verified/Fixed. To avoid the
confusion, I am writing this as a new Regression bug.  If this is a problem,
please let me know.

1. Open Messenger from Task menu
2. Select a "read" message from the IMAP inbox folder
3. Select Message|Mark|As Unread, the selected message turns to "unread" status
4. Exit apprunner and relaunch apprunner mail
5. Notice that message that was marked "unread" did not stay.
Actual result: The status does not show "unread"
Expected result:  The status show show "Unread"
This occurs to all three platforms.

this is not a regression. What can happen is that the database doesn't get
commited immediately, but the flag change is getting written to the imap server,
and to the database. It will not show up in the UI because of a bug in the tree
control, however.

although the bug as written isn't really true, I've added a commit immediately
after his operation to force a flush of the db state.

I check everything:
IMAP/POP/News: Message|Mark AS Unread works and got saved in the database.
