The same problem happened now with this NG, SeaMonkey asked me if I
wanted to download about 85k messages... and it also does not keep the
read/unread/watch flag.
The current count of all messages in the NG available on the server is
84,433, so that must be what it was offering. But it wasn't offering to
download the whole messages, just the headers. There's an option in that
dialog to download only nn messages and mark all the rest as read.
On my system, it does keep track of read/unread. When I join a new NG, I
begin by downloading all the messages, which takes a few minutes but in
the end it's worth it. I mark all as read. Then I sort by date and mark
the last couple of weeks as unread, and re-sort using
Sort by -- Date, Ascending, Threaded
Messages -- All
Threads -- Threads with Unread
This way, for a thread containing any (recent) unread message(s), I have
the whole thread (headers only). If I press "N" I jump to the next
unread message, and SM then downloads the full message body. If I'm
interested enough in the thread, I can open other messages in that
thread while I'm there; if not, I press "N" again to jump to the next
unread message. When I'm done, I've marked all messages as read (the new
ones by opening them), so if I leave and return, SM checks again and
probably finds no new messages and displays no threads. Or if there are
a couple of new ones, I see only those couple of threads.
In short, SM has all 85K message headers, but at the moment it's not
displaying any of them because I've read or marked as read every message
in the NG.
