I'm running 3.0.3 and for me, it highlights the first unread in the
index of the folder - or last read if there are no unread items -
but doesn't open it. I don't think I've ever seen it open the first
unread mail when going to a folder.

In Common Preferences->Details->Interface, I have "Always open messages
in summary when selected" unchecked.
