No, not the triangles.  Each newsgroup in the folder pane has an icon next
to the name which shows the state of the group.  I see it change from a
pair of text balloons to a pair of text balloons with a green arrow when
there is a new post to the group.  Or I should say I *almost* see it.  It
is very small and it is pushing the limit of what I can see without a
magnifying glass.  The message threads and individual messages in the
message pane have similar icons which change with their status.

The fact the OP is asking about the meaning of those icons hints they are
visible enough to have his/her attention.

Note the icons are not the only style indicator for unread messages.  In the
message/thread pane all unread messages appear in bold, and then collapsed
threads which contain new unread messages appear underlined, for example.
Folders (the folder pane) with unread messages also appear in bold, and get
additional unread messages count in parentheses as a suffix to the folder
label, also.

Here's a customization suggestion (via "userChrome.css" [1]) to make the
unread messages more visible:

Adjust the 'color: #000000' declaration as 'color: blue', for example, to
suit your needs.

Yeah, but nothing at the thread level and nothing in the folder pane to make groups with new messages stand out. Unread is not the same as "new".

I recall in T-bird they would color the group name in green to show it had new posts.
