Hi Jonathan,
I'm getting tired of Thunderbird telling me I have unread messages in
folders that haven't gotten new messages for months so I'm looking for
a new mail client. [..]
Yes, it's a Thunderbird issue only. Usually that appears when you don't
compact your folders (you can ask TB to compact by itself as well). 90%
of the time when you have weird stuff in your folders that's because you
didn't compact your folders.
I would agree with that if it happened to folder I used actively but
I've had thunderbird mark emails as unread in my 2003-2006 archive
folder, which obviously hasn't been touched since early 2007 so
something weird is going on.
As someone else noted it may be related to the amount of email I have.
I probably have nearly 100,000 messages spread across 30-40 folders
right now.
