I have flashed my N900 to the Global PR1.3 image and reset the eMMC, so that I could have a fresh start.

Then I re-added my email accounts (Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail and OVI-mail) and I ended up with a few thousand of unread emails.

I know that I can mark emails read one at a time, but how do I mark all emails read?

It would be great if you could let me know.

Thanks.

I don't think this is possible. I have the same problem and cannot find the answer. The only thing you can do is delete them all.. open up inbox -> delete -> ctrl + a -> delete... all gone!

if you're willing to script this, you can. just need to set the correct status in the sqlite database.

For Yahoo and no doubt the rest, you can just open Yahoo Mail from your browser, then if you check the correct box it will check all the mail so you can easily check a large number of mails with one check, then click a drop-down menu and select Mark as read.

I think he wants to mark of of them as 'read' from modest.

It sounds like part of his problem is a one-time issue and he SHOULD want a solution, mainly. I don't think there IS a way to do exactly what he wants to do, but my method works. That can't be bad...

You should use IMAP wherever possible - it will keep the statuses of emails (read/replied to/etc). With gmail you should definitely be using IMAP, don't know whether any of the other webmail services support IMAP.

You can't, the functionality was removed in Maemo 5. See bug 4770 :-(

IIRC there's no sqlite database, email is just stored in maildir folders.
