I have dozens of subfolders I prioritize to balance my workload, however, in many cases, the unread messages are not listed first.
I would like a simple button on the GUI of Gmail to simply click to view emails that are unread after clicking on each subfolder.
I don't want all unread messages in my inbox. I like to just click on a subfolder I have created and click a button to view all unread messages there only.
This way if I need to I can select all, even if there are hundreds of emails in that specific subfolder which I can mark as read without affecting other unread messages in other folders.
Examples:
Folder 1 | Server A Down
Folder 2 | Server B Down
Folder 3 | Messages From Boss
Folder 4 | Impacted Services
If there are 1,000 services impacted in Folder 4, I would like to just see all the unread ones then mark all as read, then view the details in Folder 1.

It's very simple, all you have to do is add the search label
unreadas follows:label:unreadto the search area.When you enter some folder, you'll notice that in the search area of gmail, the term is something like:
label:toplevelfolder-nextfolder-subfloder-etcso just change it to
label:toplevelfolder-nextfolder-subfloder-etclabel:unreadand it will do the work :)
If you must have it as a GUI button, maybe there's a browser extension to add that button.
