The messaging folder shows all emails, text messages, etc... Each folder has the unread number of messages on it. Can I mark the all as read? When I go into specific email I select all messages but the only options I have are Move, Delete, or Cancel. Where is the "mark all messages as read"? Or is there a way where I can go on my pc, mark them as read, and for the Atrix to mark them as read as well???
 
Sure. If you are using the stock e-mail app, go to the messaging or email app. From the inbox screen listing all your emails: press menu> select all> menu again mark as read. Or you can just select multiple unread e-mails and use the same process.

when i select all then press menu again only mark as unread comes up and a bunch of other things. there is no mark as read!

The option to mark as read, only comes up, if you select the emails that have not been read yet. If they have been read, you will get the option to mark as unread, as you saw.

Wow thats a pretty bad design. I have over 165 unread emails. I had to either click one by one or select all then mark all as unread (took 10 minutes cause I had 1500 emails), then select all again and mark all as read.

Anyways I can sync the pc email read count to the phone? For example I can go to my live account on pc and mark all as read and it shows the same on my phone?
