How can I have unopened inbox emails when I've opened every email using the All Mail selection? Along with this same question, how can I have unopened Important emails after opening all of my emails using the same selection? I do not understand what is being represented with this logic.... Can someone please explain to me how to logically view this concept? Can I eliminate this logic? Thanks in advance for any responses.....

"All Mail" is an artefact of gmail with IMAP. Most users have a happier life if they unsubscribe it in Thunderbird.
