As others have said, I haven't seen anyone else ask for it, so I'm not
sure it is as basic and fundamental as you imply. Personally if I want
to see just the unread emails I click on the "Show:" selector at the
top.

Yeah, life's a bitch sometimes. (And if WORK arounds didn't involve
extra work, they would be FEATURES.)

If all applications were perfect and did everything the same and
everything you and anyone else wanted on all platforms (and are free
and OSS), there would only be one application and we could all go home.

If you want to suggest an enhancement to Evo then you need to file it
in Bugzilla. It's the *only* way to get things done. (But as I said
before, those new features will only be added in the current/devel
version of Evolution, not older versions.)
