After some experimenting, I settled on this method:
I use Full-width preview pane. This way, in the main window
you have your folders to the left and a preview of the
selected folder to the right.
* Click on View, select View Treads by Reference;
* Click on View, select Sort by Creation Time
* Click on View, select Display All Messages.
Now, whenever a new message gets sorted into a mail folder,
double-click on a message in that folder. The View Folder
[folder name] window will come up. Once there,
* click on the Created Time column header and make sure that
the order is descending (arrow downward, newest messages on
top.
All unread messages will show in chronological order. Scroll
down to the oldest of the unread bunch and read your way up,
using either the red <- arrow (for: delete and move upwards)
or the blue <- arrow (for: move to next unread).

not its fault.
