Show just unread emails

Using the native email app on lollipop.

Is there a way to have just unread emails displayed? I do this in Outlook on my desktop, and would like the same user experience on Android.
 
The default email app, Mail.

But now that I'm digging into the Apps/Running screens, I take it that the default email app on an M9 is an HTC product, and not a native Android app?
 
Stock apps like phone, contacts, messaging and email are usually replaced by manufacturers with their own version. TBH the base Android versions are usually nothing very special anyway - whether the manufacturer version is better or worse depends on which manufacturer, which app, which version and your tastes ;).

You could try a third party replacement. Aquamail has a "smart folder" which can be set to show only unread messages. I've never worried much about this so have not surveyed the capabilities of different email apps in this regard. I also uninstall the stock email app, so can't tell you whether there is any setting in that which would help.
