I don't know what the default behavior is in other mail clients, but
if I mark something deleted, I want the bolded mailbox to go away, so I
can tell when there is new stuff. If you delete a message that you
didn't read, that is your problem, don't do that. What do you want to
happen in the majority (in my case, all) of the time? Have it go away
and not bother me any more.
actually, default behavior for mail clients that mark as deleted rather
than move the message to the trash folder is to leave it marked as
unread. they are different statuses that have nothing to do with each
other. what you're talking about is combining the "delete" function with
the "mark as read" function. they are separate for a reason. what you're
saying is when you "mark as deleted" you also want to "mark as read"
which could be a user option, but not one that is by default because
they are not the same.
