Beth, Paul, for some time I have done what you seem to want, that is just
select a folder and use command (Apple) Option T and all messages are marked
as unread. I do not first select all. Where I commonly use it is when 12 or
more Ent. Talk group messages come in and I only want to read say 3 then
after reading them I just use the above procedure to mark all the rest as
read. I tried it in a number of other folders within Ent. and that is one of
the few commands that is always available under the "Message" menu.
I am OSX 10.3.8 using Microsoft Office 2004 and Ent. 11.1.0
I agree it would be great to then be able to Delete all without selecting
one etc.
Regards,
Fred Annesley.
