why does blue dot disappear when opening mail

When I click on the mail icon to go to my "in" box, the "in" box opens properly, but them immediately the blue dots next to new, unread emails disappear and unless I noticed, I can't visually see which emails are unread. How do I fix this so the blue dots stay until I open the actual message?

iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1

Drives me nuts. I have to be so careful not to mark an email read that I haven't read yet. I can't believe this doesn't bother everyone!

I can't believe you felt the need to bump a 4+ year old thread.


This isn't normal operation, so that's why it probably doesn't bother everyone else, and why this thread hasn't been updated for over four years.
