Simplest way: move over to using IMAP - none of this is necessary with IMAP. (When copying your current local mail to an IMAP server from within a mail client, the read/unread status will be retained.) But, since you probably don't want to do that, try this. Find out where Evolution stores it's data in your version (it's in the help bit) - create a new mail account in TB and point it to the Evo maildir location (I don't know how to do that with TB, I don't use it). Copy and paste all the mail to where you want it in TB, delete the TB account you just created. The Maildir format Evolution uses is fairly standard and has the unread/read status encoded in the filename. Make sure Evolution, and any of its factories, are not running during this process. Make sure you have a backup. I haven't tested these instructions since I have no idea how it would be done in TB - hence as I said you need to ask on a TB forum. You may have to use some intelligence to modify what you are doing. You do this at your own risk. If you get it wrong you risk loosing your mail - this is NOT my fault.
