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?
I think you explained the feature you want well. I do not think it is available in 3.3.2 KDE yet. Here is a "work-around" that I use. I have assigned the up and the down arrow keys to the next unread and previous unread messages. That way I just go to a kmail folder and press the down arrow keys continuously until all the mails in that folder are read. I have found that the following key mappings work well to navigate through many emails up arrow - go to previous unread down arrow - go to next unread left arrow - go to previous right arrow - go to next This doesn't exactly solve the problem that you are running into. But, that's the best solution that I could think of to navigate through 100's of unread emails effectively. If you are subscribing to suse-linux-e then you know what I mean :). -- Osho
