Comment (by czeidler):

 Oh sorry missed this ticket, maybe because there was a similar ticket that
 I fixed... Jonas, please go ahead, think changing the MAIL:status
 attribute is more robust now an should not overwrite none standard
 attributes.

 The difference between seen and read is that you can differentiate between
 mails which are completely new and mails you have seen but still not read.
 Seen is like taking a short gimps at the mail and decide to read or reply
 to it later. This is very handy because if mails are automatically marked
 as read they vanished directly from the unread query even though they are
 still important. You have to explicit mark them as important but that
 should work the other way around: you should mark unimportant/handled
 mails as read, to not accidentally miss them. Since the mark as read
 button jumps to the next mail it is even less work than marking important
 mails as important :-).
