[MlMt] A "Show only unread" toggle

Let me give an example of where having double defined folders feels at
least to me cumbersome.

Two of my smart folders are VIP's and My directs which list various people
outside and inside my org that I like to make sure I at least are aware of
what topics they are discussing currently and react if need be. Each folder
has automatic sub mailboxes per person.

In most reading mail cases only unread is relevant but once I see a pos
that are interesting I often want to remind myself what other topics I've
discussed with this person. The fastest way for that is to have the mailbox
include read mails too. This is much much faster than replicating the
search in this folder - hence why I suggest having s way to toggle show
all/unread to quickly filter/unfilter without breaking the flow of what
next/previous mail shortcut will go to.

Hope that explains it better.
