In my thunderbird account I have inbox, important, all mail, and several folders I have created. Why do I have to click on the same email in all folders? If I look at it in my inbox it should clear as read in all categories, but thunderbird makes me click on each folder and then find each email to stop it from showing as un-read.

Thunderbird does not create Important or All Mail folders. Gmail does and they live by their own rules. Personally I would unsubscribe to the All Mail folder. It is just a collection of mail that is in all your other folders and just confuses the issue.

I had looked at and thought to do that in the past, but the gmail tab is grey'ed and as such I didn't think I could do that. Your comments made me think it was possible and I needed to find the way and clicked on it. Then out pops the folders under gmail and click, click, click... and no more folders.

Thanks.
