Is this bug about IMAP mail, or POP3?  I'm assuming the former.

I was using IMAP when I first observed the bug.

A somewhat fix I found:

Instead of "Delete" select "Move to folder" then select the Trash. It's not
perfect(Trash goes bold), but at least they're marked as read.

"Delete" *should* be the equivalent of "Move to: Trash" plus "Mark as Read."

The "Trash goes bold" is a combination of a superfluous styling rule in the 
theme's CSS (in Mozilla, Classic shows the symptom but Modern doesn't), and the 
symptom of bug 230805.

I saw this bug, or something very close, occur today on a POP account -- a 
message came in which was filtered with Delete; the Trash folder went bold 
without a count, as I expected from the known bug mentioned in comment 6.  
However, when I visited the Trash folder, that deleted message became UNread, 
and "(1)" appeared next to the Trash in the Folder pane.

I have a similar problem.  Using thunderbird 0.8 on Linux (built from source on
gentoo).  The filter is applied to an IMAP mailbox (INBOX), moves selected
messages into a local folder, and marks them as read.  Everything works except
that the message is not marked as read.  I suppose that the message is also
being deleted from the IMAP server as a side effect of the move -- it certainly
disappears from the IMAP INBOX.

Point of information: the folder being filed into is several layers deep in my
folder hierarchy -- e.g. "Local Folders/stats/2004/10/w1".  Also, my Local
Folders are not in the default location.

For IMAP, this is perhaps a dupe of bug 201917.

This happens for me on an IMAP mail server with Thunderbird 0.9 using Windoze 2000.

Attachment: proposed fix

we were not treating delete as a move (which it is). Also, we were assuming
that messages moved by filters are new/unread, which is not true...
