You are talking about the folder tree on the left side. I was talking
about the contents of a particular folder shown in the upper right window.

In the folder tree in 3.1.3/Linux, I see bold red if the folder or one of
its sub-folders has a new, unread message (the message itself has a red
icon in its folder contents window). I see bold black if the folder or
one of its sub-folders has an old, unread (or a manually marked as
unread) message.
