Ben,
Thanks for your thoughts. The idea is to preserve the read/unread status
where the messages reside.
I have over 100 nested folders, somewhere between 50k-100k emails, and
the read and unread are interspersed throughout. Creating an "unread"
folder and moving all unread mail there, then putting it back, would be
a massive undertaking.
