Hi,
I know that there is a closed feature request and an implementation but:
The command "mark folder read" currently does not affect the full sub-tree,
even in case the option "Mark Folder Read (recursive)" is active.
It works in the 1st level only.
I use a very deep nested folder structure.
Though it is very boring to click every subfolder individually....

So this was apparently issue #3 (a very early issue after changing the bug database from mozdev.org) - which is supposed to an extra command in the context menu. I think this supposed to bubble above the separate "Mail Commands" menu and show on top. Apparently this only shows up if there are no unread mails in the folder itself:

as workaround you can first click the "ordinary" item "Mark Folders as read", then right-click again, and select "mark folder + subfolders read". I think it might be correct if both items were shown in case there are unread items in any subfolders.

How do I see this menu item, my right click does not show the top item added by QuickFolders. I am running TB 91.7.
