I have noticed this problem overlaps with several others on this forum (I've added comments to some):

After filtering into folders, messages remain "Unread" (bold), but they have no indication of being "New". Thunderbird highlighted in blue folders containing New messages. This highlight disappeared only when that folder was viewed.

The current system is useless to me as there are dozens of folders with Unread messages in them (i.e. bold), but I really need to see which ones have New messages in them.

I'm on OS X. There is no visual difference between folders containing New messages, and those simply containing Unread messages.

Perhaps this is caused by messages being filtered into folders. (I'm on IMAP)

I still don't like the Dock icon behaviour. I want the default behaviour to be like (5) above in mbond's comment (new mail count in all folders since last check), but this seems not to be the case. I also can't find config options for this. Version 1.0b12 (2009051120)

New mail notifications not shown clearly enough (unlike Thunderbird)

There are 2 aspects to this problem:
1) A red "new messages" number is not always shown on the Dock icon if new mail had come in since Postbox was last foregrounded
2) Thunderbird highlighted in blue folders containing new messages that have come in since those folders were last viewed. Postbox only highlights folders with unread messages in bold. But this alone is not enough, since unread messages may be old.

Copy message date to clipboard

There is no way to Select and Copy the message Sent date to the clipboard. If you want to refer to a message date + time, you are forced to re-type it, which is very frustrating.

This was simple to do in Thunderbird, either in the Preview pane or in a message window.

Since Postbox formulates the datestamp in a "friendly" way (e.g. Tuesday 11:16), a right-click option will probably work better than letting the user select the text. E.g. "Copy datestamp to clipboard"

This is an extremely useful feature in Microsoft Outlook. It's really painful to have to drag attachments into the message window, involving lots of window showing/hiding/moving. You want to be able to Copy files in Finder/Explorer, and just Paste into the message to add it as attachment.
