I run my own IMAP at home, so mail is automatically downloaded and filtered on that server. KMAil is only the client to access that. Not sure if it would stop at the headers. A quick check showed me that all "unread" messages are not shown as "unread". Unmarking it as "ignore" does show the "unread" as unread again. So it only appears to be hiding the fact new messages appeared. > In Thunderbird I look at all the topics (mails sorted by thread), and if > not interested mark the hole folder (mails sorted into folders on > server) as "read".
