Thunder bird works as I described. Take a bunch of emails that are not read (i.e. still bold), highlight them all and delete them. they all move to the trash folder unread (i.e. the trash folder now has unread messages). good old terminal mail clients like mutt and pine do the same thing. there are separate flags for seen (i.e. read) and mark as deleted.
Yes, this is true in pine, but I never noticed because pine only
has one column to show deleted and unseen status, and deletion overrides the unseen. Also, pine doesn't bold folders that have unseen messages in it, so I am not distracted by it, whereas in RC, it annoys me that there is a bolded trash folder.
