GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 305376
Hide/unhide read messages missing from new menu layout

"Hide Read Messages" and "Show Hidden Messages" are gone. These need to be put back. I am giving this "blocker" severity because if you upgrade with some messages hidden, there's no way to unhide them. But this would still be a critical bug, even if the upgrade were to unhide all messages, as a neecessary feature was completely removed.
This was brilliant functionality, very useful, very usable, and one of the nice things that set Evolution apart. I certainly agree it should be restored. AfC Calgary
Fixed in CVS now. View->Show Messages->{All, Unread} will filter the list view to show either all messages, or only unread messages.
Grumble... but now it's three clicks deep, which is a usability regression. It almost seems as if someone's idea of "usability" is "whatever Outlook Express users expect".
