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.

NAME
rpload - pine remote data utility SYNTAX
rpload [ -f ] [ -s trimSize ] -t Type -l Local_file -r Remote_folder DESCRIPTION
Rpload may be used to convert local Pine configuration files or address books into remote configurations or address books. It is intended to be used by system administrators. Regular users should normally use the facilities provided within Pine. Local_file will usually be a user's pine configuration file, and Remote_folder is the IMAP folder which will be used (with the help of Pine's -p, -P, and -x commands or PINECONF, PINERC, and PINERCEX environment variables) as the user's remote configuration folder. A copy of Local_file will be placed in the folder with the correct header lines to satisfy Pine. -f Force the load even if the remote folder is in the wrong format. This will delete the contents of the folder so use it carefully. -s trimSize If the number of messages in the remote folder is more than one plus trimsize (one is for the header message), then messages 2, 3, and so on will be deleted until there are only one plus trimsize messages left. If this option is not set no trimming will be done. -t Type The possible Types are pinerc, abook, and sig. (Sig is mostly obsolete. Literal signatures contained within the remote pinerc should be used instead.) -l Local_file The file on this system that is to be copied. -r Remote_folder A remote folder name to be copied to. See the Pine documentation for the syntax of a remote folder name. One example is {my.imap.server}remote_pinerc. DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is zero if all goes well, -1 otherwise. SEE ALSO
