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?
We have gone from this:
"The inability to filter the view for unread messages is ridiculous in a 6th generation mail app"
In the *context* of "smart folders", to Michel insisting that there should be a button that hides read mail in the application. The reason he is insisting this is because Thunderbird has such a button! It's called "quick filter" and is *hidden by default*. So you have to show the quick filter bar by using a toolbar button and then hover your mouse over the small symbols to find the one that actually means "show only unread messages".
As of now - this is the objective for Mail.app. It need to have this exact functionality, "smart folders" be damned!
Alan proposed a method to achieve this very functionality - hit cmd-alt-F and type "unread", one of the search "results" is "Status: Message is unread", pick that and voila - only unread mail! Now, you can hit the "save" button here to actually create a Smart mailbox that will always show you only unread mail! Isn't that fantastic! Drag that mailbox to the toolbar and you can go to it by hitting cmd-1 (if it's the first in the list!)
The other solution is to actually sort by unread, so that all unread messages comes to the top or the bottom of the list for a quick overview. But no, Michel says nooo, you can't do that, I said "filter"! Well, the quote in the OP said filter, which was in relation to *smart mailboxes*.
So, still ignorant and lacking coherent thoughts throughout, but a better troll than his recent lies and misinformation that have been just jumbled mess of words without interconnected meaning.
