"read" is a reserved word in mysql (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/reserved-words.html). You have to double-quote reserved words:

mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mailbox WHERE \"read\"=''");

  i always get this warning:

result resource in index.php on line 24

THere is no apparent problem with the query, but there is a problem with
mysql_num_rows(). Can you show us he code there?

I would hazard a guess that mysql_num_rows() is not being passed the
correct query result handle as a parameter.

ie: $result = mysql_query(...);
    $rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
