I disagree. If you still want to process the mail manually, filter to a folder other than Trash and call it something like "Potential SPAM" > Overall I think that doing what you suggested is correct, moving a mail > unread to Trash should dismiss the icon but at the same time should > leave the message marked unread. > > I guess this could cause problems as the logic of each action tends to > conflict with the other. > > I suggest you file a bug and see what happens. > <snip> I think the *real* answer is to allow for multiple actions on a filtered piece of mail. One to mark it as read, then the second to move it to Trash. http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13145 If a message is not marked as read, the unread mail icon should certainly display, regardless of which folder the unread message happens to be occupying.
