When importing mail from Outlook 2000, all folders, subfolders and messages are marked "unread", even those which were marked "read" in Outlook.

Right-clicking a folder to mark all its contents "read" is not entirely satisfactory.  It doesn't do anything to subfolders.  And there may have been messages that were truly "unread" in Outlook and I'd like them to stay that way.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Import mail from Outlook 2000
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
All imported folders, subfolders and messages are marked "unread".

Expected Results:  
The read/unread status of each message should be preserved as it was in Outlook.

I'm opening this bug report at the request of Wayne Mery.  See
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=535997

Now, if only I knew how to attach the .pst file which Wayne wanted...
