How to mark the copy of a message as unread while marking the original message as read (by message filter)
I want to copy all messages in an IMAP account to "Local Inbox" while receiving messages. But no matter how I set the filter, I always get the result that all are marked either read or unread.
What is expected is one (the source) is marked as read and the duplicate one is marked as unread.

You might get Mark as unread Copy Mark as read Over three lines to leave a read copy in the inbox and I think an unread copy "copied"
Most IMAP server mark as read when you interact, so you might need to explicitly state a read state to unread to begin with.

You are acting on the message, not the copy. It is that simple. You can not do anything in the filter to affect the copy once made.

Can't I copy it first, ( so it's a unread copy ) and mark the original email as read later

I tried several times:
1. When only a Copy Rule applied, both sides, means, the copied (in local inbox) and the original mail (in imap inbox) are in an unread state. It's ok, but I prefer to let the original mail be a have read state
2. So, I appended an additional rule, as shown in the second figure above, to mark the original mail as read. I tested several times, oddly, any new incoming message with its copy were marked as read. It's strange.
