For the record, Ingo gave the following review of this patch's concept:

"It depends very much on the user's workflow which status is used for 
marking messages that need to be acted upon. I for one mark messages as 
important that I later want to be able to find again easily because 
they contain important or very interesting information. So a hard-coded 
filter like "Unread or Important" would be pretty much useless for me 
and other people using the important status similarly.

OTOH, adding multiple drop-down lists or a drop-down list with checkable 
items would hurt the simple user interface of the quick view.

I see two solutions:
- Allow the user to define arbitrary additional status filters (e.g. 
KAddressBook supports custom view filters).
- Use virtual folders (aka saved searches); as far as I know they are 
currently not really usable, but this will hopefully change with KDE 
4.2"
