Actually, my setup may be part of the issue claws is having. I run
dovecot on my main server that pulls my emails from various ISPs that
I have via fetchmail. Then I connect to dovecot via imap from my
workstations or laptops with claws-mail or evolution, although
I've pretty much stopped using evolution on these (gandalf is a work
station, grimm is one of my laptops). I'm currently writing
on gandalf. I could also be working on pippen, bilbo, or saruman (yes,
I'm a LoTR fan). I could also hook to my server with any of my android
devices. Note, only claws-mail clears my read emails. No other email
client has this issue. Thus, it is specific to claws-mail.

I have over a hundred email folders, which half of them are subscribed
to lists. I noticed that most of those folders have (!) next to them :-)

Thus, again, this is the first time I seen these emails.

This time I didn't.
