Not sure what you mean here.  On my Mandriva 2009.1 system, I see bold for
those not read, normal for those read.  The only time I see colors is if
there was new email incorporated into the mailbox that I hadn't read, and
then more email arrives.  And the colors are blue (new) and red (older)

No need for a plugin.  If I understand what you want, you want the Sylpheed
Icon to indicate when you have new email.  This can be done via the

Configurate -> Common Preferences -> Receive tab

There is a checkbox for "Auto-check new mail", once selected, you can specify
how often (in minutes) it should poll the mailbox.

Make sure to then go to the Details tab and look through the Interface subtab.

You can check off 'Display tray icon', 'Minimize to tray icon' and play
with others to see if they meet your needs.
