Dealing with unread messages is currently a major pain in Shredder:

 - you must click through the list of panes in order to get to the
   "unread folders" panel -> too much clicking around

 - folders within the "unread folders" panel don't disappear
   automatically after having read all unread messages within
   the related folder. The folder should disappear after reading
   the last unread messages

 - from within the "all folders" panel I can only see the folders
   with unread messages for lets say 20-30 folder without scrolling.
   I prefer working with the "all folder" panel instead having
   so switch around to "unread messages". We have accounts with
   more than 150 IMAP folders and the "All folders" panels
   requires to scroll up and down. I suggest that the "unread folders"
   should be displayed within the "all folders" panel at the top.
   So you have access to all folders and you see directly folders with
   unread messages at the top directly without scrolling and without
   switching the panels. That's how Mulberry implemented it and this
   implementation is _very_ handy.

The second point has recently been fixed by bug 341266. Everything else should not be an issue anymore with the way folder panes now work.
