RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 695309

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8) AppleWebKit/534.50.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.6 Safari/533.22.3

Steps to reproduce:

I have a search folder that searches for keywords in subject and body of 3 gmane newsgroups (gmane.comp.sysutils.puppet.user, ...devel, and ...bugs). The search folder is placed under a local folder.


Actual results:

Read messages are shown as unread in the message list. (Often the first message in a thread).
The Search folder is in bold, and shows an unread count (that is not correct).

Visiting the messages marks them as unread - sometimes the unread count on the folder does not update.

After having visited all "unread" in the folder, and doing something else for a while, the messages again show up as unread.




Expected results:

Read messages should stay unread, and the unread count of the search folder should stay in sync with the number of unread messages.

Probably similar to bug 372372.
Henrik does this happens in -safe-mode too ?
Have not tried with -safe-mode

I wonder if the problem is also related to bug 695309 where a probable cause could be issues with queuing and connections. That bug often causes all NNTP messages to be marked as unread. Until that issue is solved, this issue has very small chances of being fixed.
If this first appeared in version 8, then this is almost certainly another copy of bug 695309.
