Running up to date OSX on my macbook pro. Love Thunderbird, except for one fatal flaw. Every time I star a message as being important, Thunderbird in turn makes it an unread message. Then if I highlight the message to make it so it is read again, it removes the star. I star again... again back to unread. The circle continues on and on. I am using an IMAP set up, since I also have my email going to my phone and tablet. Thanks for all of the help!

Thank you for the insight. I tried what you described and it did not resolve my issue. Whether I right click to add the star or click the star, it results in the same issue. The only time I can add a star and not have it result in the message going back to unread is if I open the message and leave it open for a significant amount of time, then if I star it, it does not mark it as unopened.

I have both of those checked as well.

None of this has worked. Thank you for your suggestions though.
