Unread/Unopened emails, when deleted, become Read/Opened

Hello everyone

I wonder whether you could help me

When I delete emails WITHOUT reading/opening them, they move (as they should) to the Bin. Great.

Some of the emails I delete may carry viruses, malware, etc, so I specifically do NOT read/open them.

However, when I go to “Bin”, in order to permanently delete such emails, I see that these emails show as having been read/opened.

Is there perhaps any way to make sure that Thunderbird doesn’t “read”, doesn’t open, the Unread/Unopened emails I deleted??

In advance, thank you very much for your kind assistance
