Description Sebastien Bacher 2008-11-03 17:07:06 UTC 
The bug has been described on https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/292635

"Having unread messages in a given folder, click on that folder doesn't give focus to the first unread message; may that behaviour be changed to focusing the first unread message?

Thanks.

Using Ubuntu 8.10 amd64, evolution 2.24.1-0ubuntu2"

Then there will be a problem if user doesn't want to read message immediately because may be he moved to folder for searching some another mail. In your case, mail will be marked read without user's intention. 

There is a search option available - show unread messages on the top of message list which should be helpful in your case.

WONTFIXing as per last comment. Please use the quicksearch bar option instead.
