Description
In K-9 Mail 5.600 and earlier we supported only showing unread messages of a folder by clicking the unread count in the folder list. Same with starred messages. This functionality is missing in the current beta version (5.701).
But instead of recreating the old mechanism I'd like to add a filter button to the message list screen. For a first version we could use the following filter options:
- show unread messages
- show starred messages
- show messages with attachments

Research direction
Start by reviewing the current beta's message list screen and comparing its behavior with K-9 Mail 5.600 and earlier. Define done as providing filters for unread, starred, and messages with attachments, while confirming how the filter button should replace the older folder-list actions.
