NEW T-BIRD VERSIONS NOT MARKING MESSAGES AS READ WHEN OPENED
Hi! None of the online comments, in either T-Bird Help, nor web searches, help with this problem, because the Settings interfaces are totally different from what are described in Help or in web searches.
My new T-Bird update as of today, but also the preceding version, does not mark messages as read. Even after I have read a message it continues to be displayed as bold face after I move on to another.
My only option is to left-click on the message, select MARK> on the drop-down, and select MARK AS READ.
Nowhere in the setup or SETTINGS sections do I find the option:
___ Mark all opened messages as read
or something like that ... which is what I need. Am I missing something? or is this a Bug?
Many thanks for your reply ...

yeah you are missing something. This in Settings.
The highlight is what I typed in the search box to find the setting.
However historically having an antivirus product scanning in the Thunderbird profile folder while the program is running is a cause of automatic things like spam being moved to the junk folder and automatic marking of messages as read failing. Always create an exception in your antivirus product for the Thunderbird profile folder.
