I've read this thread and I assume you are using mbox mailbox format to
store your mail. And from the thread I concluded that with mbox
mailboxes it's impossible to do what you want.
One solution for your problem is switching to Maildir/ mailformat.
I don't know how your mail is delivered to you, but you might consider
using procmail. If you set things up to deliver in Maildir/ directories
you can use formail in combination with procmail to 'convert' all your
mbox mail to the new Maildir/ style. It should be an easy switch ;)
I use Maildir/ and I can see what mailbox contains new mail, even if I
enter and exit the mailbox without actually reading all the new
messages. That is because with Maildir/ new mail is stored in a
different location until read.
