Mark everything in a folder as read
Open a folder, tap the overflow menu and choose Mark all as read, then confirm. Every message in that folder becomes read. It works on one account and one folder at a time, so it is not available in Unified Inbox or the Outbox. You can switch off the confirmation in settings.
