Is there any way to just make them bold, or a different colour? Even if they are expanded, it is more tricky to find unread items. I like to keep them all closed, scan for interesting threads, then expand, it keeps things much simpler!
In the upper right corner there is dropdown box for filtering the view. Select there Unreaded.

I dont think I am explaining myself properly... When the thread is not expanded, only the first mail is visible. Any mail under the first mail is not visible, so it does not matter if it is a different colour, shape, size etc. Try it out if you use kmail - go to the folder where this list gets to, click the "folder" menu, click "thread messages". you now have a + next to the threads to expand and contract the threads. Collapse a thread and you will see that only the first message is visible. Now expand the thread and mark one of the mails as unread. It turns blue/red/green/bold/whatyouconfigured. Now collapse the thread. There is no way of telling that the thread contains an unread message. Maybe I've got a buggy install, or Im doing something wrong?
You explained pretty well. I do not know how to do this. But it is a nice feature and is a good candidate for feature request to kmail team. So, go ahead, check their bugs database, and see if it is already posted. If not, post it and provide us with a link to the request. They have voting system, so we can add our votes for that feature.
