I'm starting to feel stupid.   I can't figure out how to tell if the message has been read, not read, or been added to from the last time I read it.

I know the envelopes in colors and symbols should tell me.  But so far I have not been able to make sense of them.  Yes, I have seen the key, but that does not seem to resemble reality.

What am I missing?

The same thing as me I think.  I haven't sorted them out completely yet either.  My work-around has been to use the 'Active Topics' view and play with the time frame.  Not perfect but it has helped a little bit.
