Is there a way to place the "Mark as Read" icon on the toolbar. This
way it would avoid having to click twice, once rmc to select "mark" and
then "as Read".

Thanks, Jeff

No sooner asked than I discovered the answer.

Sorry.

Sure. Search extensions for Mark All Read.
I love it.

The "Toolbar Buttons" extension has a "Mark" button you can put on the
toolbar. I tried it out and it cycles between marking what you have
selected as being read and then being unread each time you press it.

Go to Mozdev at <http://www.mozdev.org/> for quick access to
extensions for Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and other
Mozilla-related applications. You can access Mozdev much
more quickly than you can Mozilla Add-Ons.

Here's a far better solution: Cmd-Shift-C marks everything in a
particular folder or NG read. Takes .6 seconds, and of course, those
keyboard commands need translating if your on a PC.

I know that you believe you understood what you think I said, but I'm
not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

There is a Mark button inherent in the vanilla Thunderbird (Tbird
without any extensions). If you don't see it, right-click on the
toolbar and select Customize in the pull-down menu. You can
drag-and-drop buttons between the Customize Toolbar window and the
toolbar itself.

you mean the Mark icon or is "Mark As Read" a new TB3 thing?
the Mark button has been around forever - well, for a while anyway...

There is an extension that adds a 'Mark All Read' icon. (Button)

I'm new to TB so bear with me. It is the "Mark" icon.
