Does anyone know of an addon that can be used to mark ALL messages in a
folder as *UN*read?
Thanks,

No add-on needed to do this. Select all messages in a folder you'd like
to mark as unread. Right click on one of them, select 'Mark', and
uncheck 'As Read'.

You can also left click once on the folder itself, right click, select,
"Mark Folder Read."

The original post wanted UNread not ALL read.

Thanks ALL! I know this might have been an unusual feature but I have 2
dozen folders of important messages and like to see just how many when I
open TB (Verison pmts, YouSendIt activity, etc). No particular reason,
just an old man's *druthers*. ;-)

Hilite all the messages that are "read" and then right-click, select
"Mark => Read" and all of the read messages become UNread. Reverse logic
but it works.

It would be better instead of
"Mark => Read"
to have
"Mark => Toggle Read Status"

Yes it would be IF there was that option. Submit it as a RFE bug.
