How do I mark mail as read in Lotus Notes without actually opening the email? Every other email client I have used has this option somewhere. I am using Lotus Notes 8. Thank you.

Select your email messages and under Edit -> Unread Marks -> Mark Selected Read will do it.

@Chris:In the user preferences dialog, in the 'Basic Notes Client Config section, you should see Mark Documents are read when viewed in the preview pane in the list of 'Additional Options'. This will affect all databases, not just email. – DaveParillo Sep 27 '10 at 23:01
Under Notes 8.5, it's: File > Preferences > Basic Notes Client Config > [x] Mark documents read when opened in preview pane – Leons Mar 16 at 15:28

You can also hit the insert key to toggle read status.
