But while you can configure Eudora to mark messages read after a certain time of previewing, this never works for the first message displayed when you open a mailbox, and sometimes the time is too long, often it is too short.
Certainly, the manual way to mark messages read via the context menu (Change Status | Read) is too long. To turn this into a quick one-click operation, put a button in the toolbar that marks the current message as read.
Mark Messages Read Quickly in the Eudora Preview Pane
To mark messages read quickly in the Eudora for Windows preview pane using a toolbar button:
- Right-click anywhere in the Eudora toolbar.
- Select Customize ....
- Go to the General tab.
- Select the Message Change category.
- Drag the empty circle (Marks current message(s) as read) to a place in the toolbar where you can access it fast.
- Click Close.
When you now want to mark a message as read you need but press the Mark current message(s) as read button.
