I noticed the same exact issue in 3.12.7 though it appears to have been
fixed in 3.12.8, so far. The way it was acting though is I would mark
posts as read in my inbox, go to another folder to check it and come
back and some of the posts I'd marked as read were now un-read again.
I'm using a local IMAP setup with Courier IMAP.
