Package: evolution
Version: 2.26.1.1-2
Severity: important

When using the "Unread" "vFolder", Evolution sometimes automatically marks
unread mails as read. This happens every time when the list of mails is
"updated" (i.e. all read emails are removed, e.g.  after replying to a
mail). Then the top most mail (or the one at the previous position of the
selection bar) is automatically selected (which is a Good Thing). 
Unfortunately, this automatically marks the mail as read.

Marking mails as read simply by selecting a mail is alos a Good Thing
(because I've chosen this in the preferences). But this _must_not_ be done
when mails are selected automatically. It is very frustrating when you
can't be sure, that unread mails stay unread untail _You_ intentionally mark
it as read.
