When you open a mailbox, Mail retrieves and displays the most recent messages, and
shows the number of unread messages at the top of the screen. Unread messages
have a blue dot next to them. The number of messages retrieved is determined by
your Mail settings. See “Mail” on page 171.
If you organize messages by thread, related messages appear as a single entry in the
mailbox. Message threads have a number next to the right arrow, showing the number
of messages in the thread. A blue dot indicates that one or more messages in the
thread are unread. The message displayed is the oldest unread message, or the most
recent message if all the messages are read.
