Or (sorry Stephen, can't resist the nudge) maybe, just maybe, you need to use 
a decent, secure os & email agent?  :-)  In nearly 11 years of using kmail, 
on linux for almost 12 years, I don't recall ever having that sort of 
problem.  Here, the - key takes me backwards to any unread messages that 
might have come from some machine with a fubar'd clock, or the + key takes me 
to the next unread message available even if its 30 folder names down the 
folder list.  So easy even I can do it.  And my 'inbox' alone is about 8Gb.
