You mark a mail unread and now you can't recall if its read or not? Better read it again then:))

Sorry, but i really can't understand what you're saying here... unless you mean bug 297534?

I think the main problem here is a language barrier.  We need a better description to figure out what's really happening.

Sounds like the last part he is talking about the Unseen status.  It is true that if a new message comes in and gets marked as unseen, then if you close the app and restart it then the message is not longer marked as unseen.  Some users have complained about that, and the RFE for it is bug 408338.
