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.
