I don't want to spend my life quickly reversing something that should
have been automatic. It bugs me no end you need to switch the focus to
the folder pane when marking all messages in a folder as read. It bugs
me even more that there's an inane confirmation dialog every single
time you do that, and equally enervating is the fact that if you also
want to mark all messages in all the current folder's subfolders as
read, you need to do that via a checkbox that does not remember its
last-used state (checked / unchecked).

Thus, I spend many minutes every day performing operations in The Bat!
that should be intuitive and automatic. There may have been times when
Ritlabs' motto "Save Your Time, Extend Your Life" may have rung true,
but it sounds like an old-fashioned song from the previous century today.
