Yes, this has been driving me crazy. Another side effect is if I select several messages and try to move them. If the last message I click is not already marked as read, then when I go to drag them they all get deselected because the UI instead decides that my drag is a click on the unread one.

After upgrading to 12.04, I can no longer do this. This is useful for some workflows where you mark messages as unread to provide a visual cue in the folder view to come back to it. TEST CASE: 1. open evolution 2. mark a message as unread 3. click and drag to a new folder In step '3', the message is not draggable, but instead is simply marked as read. As such, you must click and drag the message to another folder, then go in that folder and mark the message as unread. This is inconvenient.
