The folder-indexing-breaks (see bug# 537430) is causing a bug where Mark Folders Read appears to fail.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.In a case where you have some folders with broken indexes (See Bug# 537430)
2.Select a collection of folders including at least one with broken index, and another (lower in the selection) that has unread messages
3. Ctrl-Click "Mark Folders Read"
Actual Results:
Nothing happens ...
Expected Results:
It should mark the unread messages read.
The Error Console shows
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80550006 [nsIMsgFolder.markAllMessagesRead]" nsresult: "0x80550006 (<unknown>)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://messenger/content/mailWindowOverlay.js :: MsgMarkAllRead :: line 2007" data: no]
This appears to be another case of TB being very intolerant of data errors, and neither fixing them i.e. whatever generated this failure has seen the index is broken and IMHO should (in order of preference) either a) fix it. b) ignore it or c) report the error.
Throwing a silent exception that breaks whatever called the problem just leads to reports of completely unrelated bugs - i.e. someone else might report this bug as "Mark Folders Read sometimes fails" .

By the way, I don't know if this is also causing the really bad issues with Gloda finding messages, but not being able to open them. That seemed to correlate to busted indexes on folders.

I confirm that the original bug report is still valid and relevant today, especially when no feature to "Repair all folders" is available.
