Message filter not marking messages as unread

I am using Thunderbird 31.4.0 on a Windows 7 computer.

I have a few message filters set up that move messages to a certain folder and forward them to another person. In the box that says "Perform these actions" I have selected "Mark As Unread," but they still do not show up as unread. How do I fix this?

is mark as unread before the move? It is hard to mark something that is already gone.

No. Here is a screenshot.

then reverse those entries. Mark as unread first. Move last. Filters are very basic and literal. You move the mail to another folder, and execution stops as the mail is no longer available.
