Thunderbird 151.0.1 (64bit) reads letters itself

I-Thunderbird Customization

Hello,

I have this problem. On only 1 PC from 5, with same mailboxes installed and same configurations, on one of the mailboxes, Thunderbird does not accept setting to "not read" the letter. I tried making time to read the letter and it worked for 10 min, and then again stopped. At final, no matter how it is set, when I push to read the message it always read it.

Tried repairing the folder, but doesn't work.


Any Ideas will be great.

Thank you

Are you referring to Thunderbird marking a message as Read after selecting it? The setting that controls that behavior is found at <Settings | General | Reading & Display | "Automatically mark messages as read">. You can set this for a specific length of time or turn it off entirely, in which case the message will remain marked as Unread until you manually change it (you can use the M key to toggle that state.)
