However, I think what you're interested in is to only show the unread messages in the **current** folder, which is more akin to filtering. Am I correct, or do you want an Unread folder that shows all unread messages in all folders? #### #2 Updated by Andrea Corbellini about 1 year ago My _current folder_ is usually "All Mail", so whatever I answer the result won't change, at least for me. :-) However, more generally, I think that a filter that acts just on the current folder would be better. --- Bug imported by chaz@yorba.org 2013-11-21 23:13 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 5859 at http://redmine.yorba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5859 Unknown Component Using default product and component set in Parameters Unknown version " in product geary.

An unread filter of the current folder is EXACTLY what I need. I don't always have time to read all my emails and end up with days of read and unread messages, mostly junk, so an unread filter would bring them forward and I would be able to read or delete as necessary.
Since https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726661 has been merged, this issue might be easier to solve. What is the current status of this issue?
Bug 726661 does get us half way there, but Bug 714496 is the other missing piece needed - a patch implementing that will also solve this, for search at least. Note also that Geary unfortunately has separate code paths for search vs listing conversations in a folder, so some more work is required for a more traditional filtering UI. That is more generally covered by earlier Bug 713872, so I'm going to mark this a duplicate of that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 713872 ***
