In that filtration line above list of messages on the left end there is icon 
for filtration. Click there, check unread or whatever else, click back among 
list of messages. This works perfectly for me. I have some performance 
problems only with large IMAP folders (~15k messages).

I'm not sure what exactly You mean. I use threaded view (IMHO the best among 
mail clients), and this is all I need.

Right-click to IMAP folder, select expiry, set rules for expiration. I have 
bunch of expiration rules to keep my IMAP on certain size. ;-) E.g. move 
messages older than X days into given local folder. Is this what You mean?
