I can only see unread email messages in my inbox even though the quick filter IS NOT set to unread. When I read an unread message it is then unhighlighted, but when I close Thunderbird and go back in, only the unread messages show up and the read message disappears. This is not an issue in any other folder other than the Inbox.

Thanks, it was View->Threads->All. I don't know how this was changed but I'm sure it was a problem between the keyboard and chair.
