ha ha, how simple :)  My method is more complicated (vfolders) however,
my vfolder isn't as simple as just showing unread messages.  I actually
have the following in my vfolder rules:

"Date sent" "is after" "2 days ago" or
"Status" "is not" "Read" or
"Label" "is" "Important"

This shortens my inbox with ~800 messages down to less than 20!  I also
have "Include threads - all related", so that I get replies and
originals that fall outside of the above criteria.

It's great!  Evolution is the only mail reader I know that lets you do
so much with vfolders.  Even thunderbird's search folders can't do as
well as this!
