My apology for not being clear. When I said it was an unread message it was actually a message marked as "O" old state. What I want is to check every message in the mesage index and to remove the "O" state. Pressing the N key changed the "O" old state to "N" new state, and then the index moved to next line. I have also to move the index back to the current line and then pressed N again to remove the "N" state. What I am looking for is to find a key which can be just pressed once to remove the "O" old state. I have to clean hundreds "O" old state messages manually I transfered from other email clients. Thank you. Kind Regards. Jim
