Use the OS/2 version of PMMail!  It has an option to "Skip Read
Messages When Using Next/Previous".  With this set, I sort my folders
by date.  Then to read to read them, select the folder, open one of the
visible, already read e-mails, and press F12 to go to the next unread
item.   Unfortunately, the Windows version doesn't have this.  Or, at
least I can't find it.
