Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select unread messages view 2. Read one or more messages 3. Move to another folder, read another message 4. Activate "back" function Actual Results: The target folder is correctly selected but the message is not displayed (because it is not unread). Expected Results: The message should be displayed, overriding the unread view setting.
Agreed, anything else would be quite futile.

Still repro. I selected the unread filter from the filter bar and activated the pin icon so it preserves the filter settings. I used Next/Previous from Go menu. Thunderbird 52.1.0 (32-bit) Windows 7 64-bit
Severity: normal → S3
