I am trying to find a shortcut for marking all messages (eMails) in a folder as read by using a keyboard shortcut, but had no luck in finding one so far. I am using Microsoft Outlook 2010 and when I open the context menu (right click on the folder), it shows the "e" underlined in "Mark All as Read", which is in my opinion a sign for a shortcut.

Does anybody know the shortcut?

You could put the "Mark All as Read" command into the Quick Access Toolbar like so: Quick Access Toolbar customization dialog

After that you can access the function via Alt+3. The number depends on the position where you place the command. Press Alt by itself to make Outlook display overlays for all hotkeys.

+1: Just customize the toolbar. – surfasb Feb 2 at 22:20
Nice suggestion, but I really want to avoid to click. – Bertolt Feb 3 at 12:57
@Bertolt You only have to set it up once, after that the hotkey is permanently available. – Oliver Salzburg Feb 3 at 13:30
Oops, I did not get that elements in the quick access toolbar get automatically assigned to a keyboard shortcut. NIce solution. – Bertolt Feb 6 at 15:20

Keyboard shortcut

Click any message in the message list, press CTRL+A, and then press CTRL+Q.

Quite close. But is there a way of doing exactly that without clicking on a message? – Bertolt Feb 3 at 12:55
