Or, it has the features (either natively, or via an Addon), you just
aren't aware of it.

??? I've been doing that since.. .forever... natively.

You can also set some folders to 'View > All' and others to 'View >
Unread' (or other filters) on a per folder basis. Been doing this
forever too.

No personal need, but I could if I wanted to, because I use the
FiltaQuilla Addon (lots of powerful filter enhancements).

The first has been available for as long as I can remember. The second,
for a very long time via the Addon.

True for som, but definitely not all Addons. In reality, I have only had
this happen to me (and I use 50+ Addons) rarely, and it is usually fixed

Release version as opposed to... nightly? Don't use nightly if you need
stability.

Handled in TB via an Addon, but does require those messages to be
filtered to specific folders (the Addon does this based on the Folder).

This is called 'Identities' in TB, been there for as long as I can remember.
