In my old Mobile, My Android 4.2.1 unread messages in Gmail were bold
Not so in my new mobile Android 5.1. Unread indistinguishable from the read . Is there a setting?
 
It will depend on what email app you are using. And if the answer is some default app, we'll need to know what phone as that will vary between manufacturers.

Third party apps like Aquamail or Maildroid highlight new mails perfectly well, so this is a feature of your app rather than your OS version.
 
Most phones have a manufacturer's own default email app as well as GMail. But OK, if it's Google's GMail app I don't have that installed, but plenty of other people will have it so I'm sure someone will be able to advise.
 
There is no setting to bold/not bold unread messages. By default unread should be bold. Works for me. It seems you Gmail app is slightly broken.
