The red circle with the diagonal indicates a thread that you have marked
"Ignore".  This is done by selecting any message within the thread and
selecting the "k" key on your keyboard, by right-clicking on any message
within the thread and selecting "Ignore Thread" from the pull-down
context menu, or by selecting any message within the thread and then
selecting [Message > Ignore Thread] on the Thunderbird menu bar.

Normally, a thread marked "Ignore" will no longer appear in your thread
pane.  You can select [View > Threads > Ignored Threads] to view ignored
threads.  I am not sure, but you might also have to select [View >
Threads > All] if your settings have [View > Threads > Unread] or [View
> Threads > Threads with Unread] since ignored threads are automatically
marked "already read".

The other symbols seen at the left side of the thread pane are not
really icons.  Among them are:
*  a paper clip to indicate the message has an attachment
*  a triangle to indicate the message is the first within a thread
*  a left-pointing arrow to indicate you replied the the message

Republicans scream that Hillary Clinton was responsible
for the tragedy in Benghazi.  They conveniently forget
that it was the Republican-controlled Congress that
drastically cut the State Department's budget for
embassy and consulate protection.
