So,

- closed kmail
- run: akonadictl fsck && akonadictl vacuum
- read messages on Thunderbird (on another host)
- akonadictl restart
- reopened kmail
- pushed "Check mail"
- looked into a mail thread which I had just read on TB...

messages still not marked as read!

I've also tried two things:
- replaced postgreSQL with mariadB
- tested a Gmail account 
 
nothing. The issue is still there.
