While we still have a mailing list let me tell you what I've discovered about the intermittent failure to mark as read: The symptom is that usually, but not always, the first new post of a bunch of new posts will not mark itself as read, even if you click on its line and wait two seconds. I believe this happens in both the "unread only" and "all messages" views. The best two solutions I've found are either: A: Click the initial post, wait two seconds, select another folder, go back to the original folder, click the post again, wait two seconds, and its status reverts to "read". B: Right click the post and select "Mark as read".
