That way I can flag the items i want to come back to to either respond to or read again because once you click out of the Unread Messages smart mailbox, all the read messages go away. With the messages flagged, I can come back to them without searching through my entire email filing system (folders for bills, family, church, misc, school, consulting, then filtered even further beyond that), which can be a frustrating to have to go through.
