Yes, Unread and Not Ignored is a very practical view. Over 20 years ago, in the early days of Forte Agent, we used to get urgent requests from people who had been advised to change their message view to one of the Unread variants, but then they'd panic when their old/read messages 'disappeared'. Good times. >>As you read a message, it'll probably get marked as Read, since that's >>the default behavior.
