My wife checks our emails at work using Webmail. I download all of them to Thunderbird when at home. All seem to download, but those that she has read at work are not transferred from my server folder to local emails folder even when I set the filter to transfer all missives that are 'new' unless she takes the trouble to mark the emails as 'unread' after she reads them, something that she can't remember to do.

How do I arrange for all emails to be marked as 'new' by Thunderbird when they are downloaded regardless of whether they are read or not?

How about a filter that matches all, and marks them as "Unread"?

Can't do an 'unread' filter as it creates duplicates in the local folder unless I manually mark all email as 'unread' after each download. Since I have my client running all the time, that is impossible to do unless I sit and watch the client all the time.

I tried to set up the filters with the move first, than a command to mark all messages unread. All it does is mark all message 'unread' first and then doesn't copy any of them.
