Yes.

It's fine to save all messages, but be aware that your version of Agent
(v 1.93) has a "1 million" message maximum per group, IIRC. Agent 2.0
increases that to 8 million messages per group, I believe.

Regardless, saving all messages doesn't mean that you have to display
all messages. At the top of the Message List window, (the upper right
window), you should see a pair of binoculars. Just to the right of that
is your current Message View. It probably says "All Messages". Double or
triple click it and the view selector will open. Select "Unread
Messages" (or "Unread Messages with Bodies" if you don't automatically
download bodies for each message). Now you'll see only the Unread
messages, even the replies to really old threads, without having to
scroll through endless read messages. You can change the view back to
All Messages whenever you like, but that's not a very practical view.

As you read a message, it'll probably get marked as Read, since that's
the default behavior. It'll stay in your view until you click to another
group and come back, at which point it will be hidden.
