You can use the Reading pane to very quickly go through your messages. Follow the steps below:
Click the Mail or Folder List button on the Navigation pane and click the Unread Messages search folder.
If you cannot see the contents of a message when you click its entry in the message list, click the Reading Pane button. Using this pane lets you quickly scan any message without having to open it.
- Choose Tools | Options.
- Click the Other tab.
- Click the Reading Pane button to display the Reading Pane dialog box.
- Select Mark Item as Read When Selection Changes, to mark mail as read when you view it in the Preview pane.
- If you want to be able to skip over some messages and leave them marked as unread, only select Mark Items as Read when Viewed in the Reading Pane.
- Leave the wait time at least 5 seconds.
You can use the spacebar to move through the contents of each message, one screen at a time.
As you finish with each message, press CTRL + R to create a reply or CTRL + Shift +R, to reply to all.
Press the Delete key to send the current message to the Deleted Items folder and move to the next message in the list.
