If you enable the option you mentioned then it also jumps to the first _unread_ message in case there is no new message.

I also miss such a feature after switching from Mozilla Mail to Kmail. In Mozilla the icon of a folder with new messages contains a small green arrow (Classic theme), if a mail filter moves a new message to this folder. This arrow is removed after the folder is opened. I have a lot of folders and a lot of filters, but do not read all mails immediately (and therefore would like to keep them as unread). So it makes it very hard to see, where incoming messages went to. Instead of a special icon, it would also be sufficient to simply have a different color for folders with new messages (e.g. red for new messages and bold for unread messages -> Bold red). I think different folder-colors for new and unread mails would solve the issue. So you can configure kmail to show folders with only unread mails in - lets say - blue and folders which contain also new mails in e.g. red. The trayicon should also modified to show the number of unread AND the number of new mails (or perhaps - configurable - one of these values). I need this feature too and would vote fur such a solution. I just got another idea... How about a generic solution to see the status of some messages in a folder? If kmail would simply append icons to the name of a folder in the folder list, it could append the icon of a new message, if there is at least one new message in the folder. The icon of an unread message, if there is at least one unread message in the folder. And even the icon of a message that is flagged for follow up, if there is at least one such message in this folder. In this way you could also see, if there are new and unread messages in a folder. A long time ago scince the last comment in this Post. Is there any feature like this already implemented and I just can't find it? I just tested KMail that comes with KDE 4.2. Wow! It looks great now. Very nice! But still newly delivered emails is not yet highlighted in the folder list :-( If I would use KMail the use of automated filters is still very limited, as I would frequently miss newly delivered emails, so I'll stay with thunderbird. But please developers... in the meantime (this Bug is 6 years old) you have done so many changes that are nice, but really, how difficult is it to implement this feature request? For me this is a critical must-have feature of any Mail program (another reason why I refuse to use MS Outlook in the office and rather use Thunderbird). Yes, it's OpenSource so I should maybe implement it on my own. But I am very busy with the rest of my live and have no time to implement that, although I wish I would have. Don't think so. This is about making a difference between unread and unseen mails Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented. Thank you for your understanding. Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2. Yes, this is still valid for kmail2. In fact this is the only feature why I still do not use kmail, but resort to thunderbird - although I am missing the tight KDE integration. *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** As unseen doesn't exist in KMail2 this bug will close (In reply to comment #15) > As unseen doesn't exist in KMail2 this bug will close Well, that's an unfortunate step backwards. Is it impossible to differentiate between unseen and unread messages with Akonadi? Also, there are still separate font and colour settings for "new" and "unread" messages, but there's perhaps a bug report on that already.
