were these e-mails imported somehow? I suspect they're missing the
x-mozilla-status line, where we store the read and deleted status of messages.
Can you try deleting a message from each folder, and then doing a file | compact
folders? When we compact, we add x-mozilla-status lines to each message, and
from that point forward, you shouldn't lose the read/deleted state. But
compaction only does something if it thinks one or more messages have been deleted.
