Using "search", when I just want to "hide already read mails"? You call that intuitive?
Sure. Search/filter... ...whatever.
Hmm that's an opinion.
So now, despite the fact that I've given you a way to filter for unread messages and a way to sort for them...Laszlo LebrunAlan BakerAlan BakerSorting is not the focus, we are on hiding already read messages.
Since it is in virtually every application that can display multiple items, be they emails, files, pages, one quickly learns that the advanced searching in Mac OS X is something you should at least try.Laszlo Lebrun
The sort on status does not sort unread, as of Version 4.2.
And it matters whether you actually HIDE the read messages rather than have them sort in the list AFTER the unread ones?
Oh yes. Why the hell should I have them always in my way, especially when sorting on an other criterium?
...you're still not satisfied.

Again: software is improved with successive versions. This is unsurprising.
Experience tell sometimes the opposite, especially with Apple software. but also Microsoft and Canonical.
Really? Give some examples.
Jeopardizing functionality (you are not really asking as an OSX expert, are you?) Introducing nags to make some more money.
Killing a start buttonThis is not an example of Apple software doing "the opposite" of improving.
Unity on UbuntuDitto.
Stopping support for hardware etc...Which has nothing to do with whether or not the software has improved.
but you know that do you, you just have been asking to troll isn't it?Look in a mirror.
Try again. Use English.Laszlo LebrunSandman and the OP called them exclusively smart folders, so logically one would in the help search for "smart folders", which returns nothing since Apple call them "smart mailboxes".Alan Baker
What Sandman or the OP called them is irrelevant to the fact that the actual SOFTWARE only calls them "smart mailboxes".
To that fact, sure. To our discussion not.
Well, golly! That's definitive, isn't it?Laszlo LebrunWhich -with permission- isn't really an appropriate designation for an own alternate representation of existing data from an external mailbox. I suppose some lawyer interacted here and Apple were not ready to pay license fees?Alan Baker
What are you talking about? It's a perfect suitable name...
I disagree.
LOL
