<div>Thanks Sherif. Hopefully, this makes it into the documentation
one of these days.</div>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>The column "unread" in the list

<blockquote type="cite" cite>The blue and grey are simple to
explain:<br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>
<ul>
<li>Blue: indicates a single unread message.
<li>Grey: You should only see grey next to a thread, not a single
message. Grey means that the thread has a mix of unread and read
messages. A thread that contains messages that are all unread should
have blue next to it, and a thread of all read messages should have
neither blue nor grey next to it.</ul>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>It means that you use another client in
addition to MailMate with that source account and that the other
client handles message deletion in a classical IMAP mode. This means
that messages get marked with the "\Deleted" flag when the
user deletes them, but do not REALLY get deleted until the mailbox or
(if the server & client support the UIDPLUS extension) the
individual message is purged. Some servers auto-purge mailboxes or
individual \Deleted messages based on various criteria and some
clients do as well, although some client+server combinations will
never purge anything unless the user explicitly commands
it.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>So: a red dot in the "Read"
column means that something other than MailMate marked the message for
deletion but has not yet told the server to purge it.</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>The mechanics of handling message
deletion and presentation of recoverable "deleted" messages
vary broadly between IMAP clients. MailMate uses a very conservative
approach of not purging messages it did not flag \Deleted, although I
don't know how it manages that on servers without UIDPLUS support
(which was a requirement for early versions of MailMate.)<br>
