If Mozilla can fix these Thunderbird problems, then there would be more Mac users:

Solving these problems would also encourage Mac Mail users to migrate to Thunderbird:

The fact that after importing from Mail to Thunderbird, all e-mails are unread has GOT to be resolved.

I've got tens of thousands of e-mails, in hundreds of mailboxes.

There's no way I'd make the migration if every e-mail in Thunderbird was marked as unread.

Also, if possible, please keep Mail's red flags during the transfer.

This bug is way too vague and amorphous to be a usable bug for fixing, especially as there really was no concrete rationale given against Thunderbird in the first link. It also violates the "one issue per bug" rule too much.

If you have *specific* *bugs*, such as import marking email as unread, you can file those individually; if you have support requests, the proper place for that is <http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/products/mozilla_thunderbird>.

Apologies for violating the "one issue per bug rule," Ludovic.

Just trying to be helpful to the code building team.

While I'm here, here's another link for Bryan :o).
