Data Pine continuously marks old messages as unread
Hi,
I have been having problem with pine for the past few weeks. I use email clinet Thunderbird to view my emails. Every time I open the thunderbird, all my emails were marked as unread. So, I logged into our email server to see what's wrong. even when I opened pine, all messages are labeled as unread. I did ;a a * and unchecked New. It marks all the messages as read. But when I close pine and open it, again all messages are remained as new. I don't know what is happening. Please help me with this problem.

Because of this problem, I am unable to distinguish between read and new messages.
