Today I work around this issue by having a smart mailbox that setup the 
right query without unread filter, then a submailbox
that only shows read.

I would though like to avoid having to do this.

To illustrate:

```
- VIP
  - Unread
    - Max Andersen
    - Donald Duck
    - Mum
- Directs
   - Unread
     - Person 1
     - Person 2
     - Person 3
     - Person 4
```

oh - yes there is :)

The use case I have is that when I read a mail from a person I often 
want to go find another mail from that person and searching for that 
just takes too long compared
to go into the parent folder and locate it within it.

And if it is for mailing list I'll like to see if there were other mails 
posted without having to change the smart mailbox or do a new search.

Having a show/hide unread is built into all mail clients I know except 
mailmate and apple mail ;)
