Thanks for the the solution. I'm not sure what the bitdefender toolbar does my messages are still scanned by bitdefender with the toolbar turned off so I don't see that I need it on for anything.

I also have this same problem the emails download and then automaticly they are all marked read. If I turn off the bitdefender toolbar Thunderbird works and does not mark the messages read before I read them. Is there any solution for this problem? Tom
