If the "preview pane" is what I guess that it is, than how can it be
closed? No, it's open, I could read the marked email by what I guess
that it is the "preview pane", but ...

... correct I don't open the mail, IOW I don't open a new window for
this email, but it's marked.

Exactly what I do.

Yes, first step is that trash is emptied and when this is done the
selected massage will be marked as read.

I only report this kind of bugs when I've got much time, so not at the
moment. If I would report this and similar bugs, 24 hours a day aren't
enough ;). My machine is a Linux digital audio workstation, I do a lot
of testing and bug reporting, from time to time I report "desktop app"
bugs too, but sorry, I won't report this bug, at least not right now,
since I would have to check, if it's a bug that already was reported
etc.. If I would start reporting similar bugs, for Evolution only it
would take weeks. For example, take a look at the beginning of this
email. The two empty lines between "Patrick O'Callaghan wrote:" and the
quote aren't intended, it's impossible to delete them and Evolution has
got "a few" of such bugs.

Don't get me wrong, if it would be a serious bug, e.g. emails would get
lost, then I already would have filed the bug.

Ralf
