I assume by "bolded"  that you refer to the first unread message?

In my case if I open Sylpheed it defaults to the "Mailbox (MH)", I then
select the folder by means of the red coloured folder name which indicates
new mail. The prompt then goes to the first unread message either new or
previously read. To get around the situation where I have a number of
messages marked as unread I use the dropmenu adjacent the 'search' field
above the message pane to select "Last 5 days".

Also could you set your line length to about 72 characters for the
list? :-)
