Details
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1 Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.5 (20051201) In this bug, a mail message that should be marked as Unread is incorrectly marked by Thunderbird as Read. I have found two ways to duplicate this problem. Here is one sequence of actions: 1. Begin with View:Unread 2. Click on some unread message to display its contents 3. Now click on the button to the left of the message to manually mark it as Unread. 4. Now manually select View:All The message will change its status from Unread to Read. A second way of triggering this bug is: 1. Begin with View:All and with a search defined to select all messages whose Subject Or Sender contains Smith. 2. Click on a message from Smith to read it. 3. Now manually mark the message as Unread. 4. Now clear the search so that all messages are displayed. The message from Smith will now be changed by Thunderbird from status Unread to Read. I argue that in both of the above cases, the message status should not change. I use "Unread" status to help track tasks that I need to do later. This behavior by Thunderbird can cause me to lose tasks that need to be done. So in that sense I am losing data, which is why I mark the bug as critical. Reproducible: Always
