I can mark them Read, but when I open the mail program agian, they are listed as
unread. This has been happening WITH A crash. If I try to point to
bmoore...Account the line ABOVE inbox, my mozilla crashes, not just the mail
program but my browser too.  This is true for each of my pop accounts, I cannot
click on the heading above Inbox, it will cause a crash, now I can click on the
arrow to the left and this will not cause a crash. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make it crash by clicking on the mail heading listed above
2. Reset with ctl-alt-del choose mozilla and shut down. 
3. Re-open (even after complete reboot)
4. Last 23 messsages will be marked Unread


Actual Results:  
Crash and last 23 messages marked unread. 

Expected Results:  
Not Crash, and not mark messages unread. 

I do not know about the theme interaction, but will check that out.. you can
email me at [e-mail] if you have further questions.

were these messages imported with an earlier version of netscape/mozilla? They
probably don't have a Mozilla-status header, which is where we store the read
state for messages when we need to recreate the INBOX.msf (there was a bug that
importing didn't add that line) - for some reason, your INBOX.msf file is left
in an invalid state when you crash by clicking on the account. So you're hitting
two problems - you could go in by hand an add x-mozilla-status lines to those
messages (you can look at other messages to see how that line should look).

As far as the crash is concerned, have you submitted talkback reports? You might
try deleting XUL.mfl from your user profile directory - it can get corrupt and
cause all sorts of weird problems in mail and the browser.
