Thanks for the feedback but that would not really solve the problem for 
me because then I would not know which folders have the new mail so I 
would have to look at all incoming mail to find the important ones which 
would slow me down(I get a lot of incoming email).  The benefit of each 
folder having an indication of new mail makes it easy to look and see if 
any important folders have new mail.  The folders that are important to 
me change throughout the day so with Thunderbird I can quickly glance at 
the mail folders and know if I need to read the mail in them.  A virtual 
folder with all unread mail would defeat the purpose of the folders for 
me.  I have about 50 folders of email.
