User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:13.0) Gecko/20120329 Firefox/13.0a2 SeaMonkey/2.10a2
Build ID: 20120329013002

Steps to reproduce:

1) Mark folder read on Mailfolder
2) rebuild msf (via properties -> repair folder)


Actual results:

mark folder read seems to work, all messages in folder are marked read. 

rebuilding .msf brings previously unread mails back to unread status

selecting unread messages and mark them read works as intended


Expected results:

Mails should keep there status as read

[David :Bienvenu]

is there an x-mozilla-status header in the message(s) in question, and does it have the last number set to 1?

Comment 2

[Susanne Jaeger]

I can reproduce this with any mailfolder. All messages have x-mozilla-status headers, but it doesn't change when I mark folder read via contextmenu, x-mozilla-status of the messages stays at 0000, only the display in the threadpane changes from bold to normal and the counter in the folderpane is changed.

> Tony can you reproduce?

Yes I can, as follows:
1. Go to Trash folder
2. In Folders pane, Right-click → Mark Folder Read
-- All messages in Threads pane are now shown in unbold type
3. In Folders pane, Right-click → Properties → Repair folder
-- All messages in Threads pane are now shown in bold type.

My custom is to mark messages as unread immediately before moving them to Trash using Right-click → Move to…
