Is there an option for “Mark All Emails as Read Across All Folders” in Outlook?












1















I have lots of Outlook folders (30+) and they each get a trickle of over 200 emails a day.



Usually I scan through each folder to make sure nothing important is in there and right click on the folder and press E to 'Mark All as Read'.



This gets tedious and I want to eliminate the second step so I can just scan through my folders then press a button to mark all subfolders and folders as read at the end.



I would like to say this differs from this as I would like to know which emails are new and not have them automatically all be marked as read when they come in.

          No there isn't a single button that does this, not in the Outlook client.



          You could use a search query and then select all (Ctrl - A), right-click, and then mark all as read.
