23 I run my own IMAP at home, so mail is automatically downloaded and filtered on
24 that server. KMAil is only the client to access that.
25 Not sure if it would stop at the headers.
26 A quick check showed me that all "unread" messages are not shown as "unread".
27 Unmarking it as "ignore" does show the "unread" as unread again. So it only
28 appears to be hiding the fact new messages appeared.
