In Global Preferences of Junk Mail option "mark junk mail as readed" is on, but still mails moved to folder automatically remains unreaded and I have to go to this folder and mark them as myself. This option was worked properly on Windows XP and mentioned problem arises when I have migrated my mail folders to Windows 8.1.

Can you check something:

Tools > Options > Advanced > General tab

click on 'Config Editor' button - it will tell you to be careful :)

In top search type: mail.spam look for this line: mail.spam.markAsReadOnSpam; Value = true

If this says 'False', double click on that line to toggle 'false' to 'True'

Close window - top right X clickon Ok to save and close Options Please report back.

Thank you for your answer!

Unfortunately, mail.spam.markAsReadOnSpam has value "true" and junk mails are still unread.
