It should remember the ones you've already hidden.

But you could try using a virtual folder with only unread messages in
it.  It will get re-synced whenever you change back to it and
automagically remove any newly-read messages.

You dont get a preview, youy get the whole message.

You can use space and backspace for this.  Although some keybindings are
configurable, i think these are handled by the display code internally
and are not currently :-/

I dont believe so, you have to do it via an intermediate file :-/
