So, you have an inbox with a large number of messages.  Scattered throughout the inbox are unread messages and you want to know how to easily access them.  Yes?  If I've defined the question correctly....

If you have the "Menu Bar" enabled (Clicking on the T-Bird emblem is similar)  you will notice you can click on "Go--->Next--->Unread Message"  or "Go--->Previous---Unread Message" to get to where you want.  You can also use the shortcut keys "N" and "P" instead.

Also, on the "Mail Toolbar" there is a "View" drop down menu which allows you to display messages based on various criteria.  One choice is "Unread".  You can even make custom views.

FWIW, you may have to left click at the top of T-Bird to get a menu to select the "Menu" and "Mail" tool bars to be visible,
