Dear WADA, How do other email clients deal with this situation on the commonly huge IMAP folders of Gmail ? I think this is a rather critical bug of Thunderbird. As you say, "some major IMAP servers don't notify flag status change via IDLE", and Tb should be able to deal with this situation OOB. If I understand correctly, the workaround only works well with small IMAP folders. Are there plans to fix this 2.5 years old bug ?

Actual Results: Only one of recently archived messages is marked as read (usually the newest one), the rest must be marked as read again. Expected Results: All of recently marked as read in Inbox and archived mails should be marked as read in All Mail folder, too.
