Would it be possible to have a feature to mark PMs as unread?

I often open my PMs but can't answer immediately, and later forget to answer because it is already shown as read on my inbox.

I've had exactly this problem too. It would be great to have control over message state so we can essentially mark things for later followup. Simply toggling the read state is one way, or starring them. Whatever it is, needs to be done server side, as I got my GB shipments tangled up by quickly replying to people by iPhone than failing to followup in the right order when back at my desk.

my suggestion would be to create a "read later" folder and move the incriminating messages there.

Yup. Some sort of manual tagging for follow up, done server side so we don't wreck things when checking PMs away from base.

Mhhh, nice matt3o, I didn't know it was possible to create a folder.

I'd really prefer to have the message directly in my inbox and not hidden somewhere else, but hey, that's better than nothing.
It's not following my usual workflow, but I'll try to stick with it for now.

I made folders for "follow up", "to be shipped", "awaiting payment", etc. You can make as many as you want, just like email folders.
