To see the “Mark as unread” command, hit the More button at top

right ( ).

Tip
Got a keyboard? Press Ctrl+U for “Mark as unread,” Ctrl+Q for “Mark as read.”

Filing or Deleting Batches of Messages

You can select a message by clicking or tapping it, of course. But what if
you want to file or delete a bunch of messages at once?

To select more than one at a time, so that all remain highlighted, hit the
above the message list. Suddenly, checkboxes appear.

Select each message you want to include; you don’t have to tap the
checkboxes themselves.

Tip

Once you’ve made the checkboxes appear, you can work down the list using the arrow keys; press
Ctrl+Enter to add the checkmark to each message.

You can select as many messages as you like, scrolling as necessary. At that
point, you can operate on them all at once—mark them as junk, flag them,

delete them, or mark them as read or unread—using the buttons atop the
list.

Message Folders

When you first tiptoe into Mail, you may notice, aghast, that your mail

folders—Sent, Deleted, Drafts, Important, Work Stuff, and so on—aren’t
listed anywhere. Actually, they are there, but the list doesn’t appear until

you select More in the left-side panel. At that point, the folder list sprouts
open (you can see it in Figure 10-6). Click a folder to see what’s in it.
