1) read or unread option in PMs
2) Folders
3) favorites type thing
4) multi-quote button (unless I am missing something, but it's clunky and glitchy now)
5) Subscription/Notification folders this could essentially be a "favorites" type thing but imagine how easy it would be to reference or track information.

I'm trying to grok your other requests:
Thanks buddy!
I must be doing something right if I can pull that term outta ya. =D
1) You are looking for a way to mark as unread or otherwise flag a PM, yes?
Essentially yes I think. It's a very basic and innate part of my workflow. I just can't seem to find a way around it.
I keep trying though, but it's at the core of how I organize.
2) Folder for PMs? Labels accomplish this in a Gmail-esque way. If you want to filter labeled PMs from your Inbox, select "Remove the inbox label when applying another label" in your settings. That pretty much gives you Gmail labels with "auto-archive"; a.k.a. folders.
I tried that before and for some reason it didn't work for me (or work at the time idr). I have tried it again more recently and I can get it to mostly work (with the "remove inbox label" thing ticked). The problems I keep running into is how to delete or move an item from one area and not the other. Sadly I have lost countless messages because of this.
3) Are you still talking about PMs here? Users? Posts? Likes? Favorites of what?
Oops! Pay no mind to this one, upon reflection, just jump to #5. Unless it was a moment of clarity that I had then that I do not have now.
4) Done.
Thank you so much for this one. Even though it's true that I cannot get it to work I'm very happy you implemented it.
5) Related to #3. Please explain.
Sure, and sorry about that.
Currently (and previously?) the notifications folder is just one really long list (well, if you have many). I thought it would be great to have a folder in your menue system for the notifications. Basically you can move your subscriptions around so you can readily find them and refer to them. Coincidently like the PM system now. I think the current pm system is a great platform for this. The Notifications "inbox" would be the sme as the notifications list is now. the Folders/labels would hold like/similar topics.
A specific example would be-
Say you're interested in all things Model M and you are subscribed to many model M threads (among other things). But you are looking for just a couple specific posts you kinda remember regarding some M info. It's a daunting task looking through all of your subscriptions to find it. But if you had an "M" folder then you have a good place to start or better yet, you may have already had a more specific M folder. And the best part is... wait for it... you still have the normal notifications list, so if anyone posts in it, it still shoots to the top!
This is basically like a favorites, but with additional benefits. LuLz, "favorites with benefits". =P
I hope that helped, sadly though I know nothing about programing, so I may have just suggested the equivalent of trying to implement time travel.
Thanks again for listening guys, it's very much appreciated. =)
