While I don't oppose a new feature I'll show how I like to read unread
messages. In *notmuch-hello* buffer I have a separate section for unread
searches. Basically it is like normal list of saved searches but with
search term "tag:unread" added. Here is the code:


    (defun my-notmuch-hello-unread ()
      (notmuch-hello-insert-searches
       "Unread messages"
       (mapcar (lambda (search)
                 (plist-put (copy-sequence search)
                            :sort-order 'oldest-first))
               notmuch-saved-searches)
       :filter "tag:unread AND NOT tag:spam"
       :hide-if-empty t))

    (setq notmuch-hello-sections '(my-notmuch-hello-unread
                                   notmuch-hello-insert-saved-searches
                                   notmuch-hello-insert-alltags))
