Marking Messages as Read or Unread

When you receive a message, the message is marked as unread. In your message list, the message header information is displayed in bold, and the message icon shows a closed envelope. After you open the message, or display the message in the preview pane, the message is automatically marked as read. The message header information is displayed in normal text, and the message icon shows an open envelope.

You can mark messages that you have read as unread, and you can mark messages that you have not read as read.

To mark a message as unread, select the message in the message list. Choose Edit -> Mark as Unread.

To mark a message as read, select the message in the message list. Choose Edit -> Mark as Read.

To mark all messages in a folder as read, select the folder in the folder pane. Choose Edit -> Mark All as Read.
