emails in inbox show as unread after having been read

After reading an email from my inbox it appears in my inbox as unread. This just started yesterday. Before, unless I deleted it, it would return to my inbox file as having been read. Now, I have to right click on the email and click on "Mark as read." Any help would be appreciated.

I just tried both of your suggestions; compacting my folders and repairing my inbox. Neither worked but thanks for your help.

Operating in safe mode did not help.

I tried creating a new profile and, although I really didn't know what I was doing, whatever I did worked. Thank you very much.
