Apple's Mail.app has this with smart folders, but I find it very slow with mail folders containing thousands of messages. Thunderbird is much faster than that, but I don't know of any way to get this ability -- although there may well be. The horde/imp webmail program makes it easy to create virtual folders which are really stored searches allowing one to select unread mail from one or more folders. On the other hand, I read the vast majoriy of my e-mail on our freebsd server using mutt in ssh from whatever machine I'm on.
