I would agree with that if it happened to folder I used actively but
I've had thunderbird mark emails as unread in my 2003-2006 archive
folder, which obviously hasn't been touched since early 2007 so
something weird is going on.
As someone else noted it may be related to the amount of email I have.
I probably have nearly 100,000 messages spread across 30-40 folders
right now.
