I was originally planning to do something like this, although I got somewhat 
hung up on how to implement it (but I was planning to do this after feedback). 
This approach is still rather nice, and more transparent, but would duplicate 
the functionality. By now I'm not sure it's necessary, since the act on 
new/unread option seems to be more the right thing. It's just currently _very_ 
hidden. Is there some sane way to make this more obvious?

As I see it, lionmail is a short way off as usable for that, but to have 
lionmail and kmail working together (eg both using akonadi) seems really far 
off. I'd like to see if we can't get something in before that happens. Correct 
me if I'm wrong, however.

Thanks for the great feedback though, it's really cool to get involved.
