I am seeing the same problem. I access my gmail account via IMAP using apple mail as the client. I wonder if apple mail or even the iphone mail client are introducing this muted label. Any thoughts?

This has also been happening to me, and I only read my mail with gmail, not with any third party client. Gmail will bring a message back into the inbox if you get added to the To or Cc headers, so maybe there's some other header that's causing it to think the message is worthy of resurrection?

I'm looking for commonalities among the resurrected thread, like priority, and so far I have yet to find any.

I wonder if this is related to how gmail computes threads and if the threads are being resurrected because someone replied to a message from earlier in the thread than the point where you muted it?

Gmail's "mute" feature should keep the message thread unread and searchable, but have it automatically skip the inbox.
