I think the definition "have opened that folder already" makes sense.
OTOH, I also like Syafril's idea that you can manually "Park"
messages - but I would distinguish between "really parked" messages
and mesages that I will have to reply to later. Thus, messages marked
"unread". That would be an idea different from Claude's as it would be
manual and not automatic, but it would be adding one flag nonetheless.

Agree; but I want the bat to fly only when the messages are "new". :-)

Guess you're right here. But the manual solution would still come in
handy for me. In my business, there is no such thing as a message that
is not urgent. I reply to messages by time zone; Japan/Australia
first, and then I move my way West bound through Asia, Europe, and
finally the Americas. So any message from Brazil I receive in the
morning doesn't need attention until afternoon, whereas I have to
reply to Australia or NZ right away, as they are two/three hours ahead
of me (I'm in Taiwan). Therefore, some kind of mark for later reply
would come in handy, even if manual.
