Since the recent updates, I have found that there is a big delay in e-mails being flagged as read after opening to view them and then moving on to the next unread e-mail.

What happens if you set hidden preference accessibility.force_disabled = 1 via tools | options | advanced | general | config editor ?

If that does not help, please start *Windows'* safe mode with networking enabled - win8 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-safe-mode - win7 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 - XP http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx

Still In Windows safe mode, start thunderbird in safe mode - http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/safe-mode

Does problem go away?
