Outlook-Office 2013 Mail Question

[WIN7 NIGHTMARE]

Greetings all,

Dell desktop, Win 7 Ultimate, 3.2ghz processor, 1tb sata hd, 3gb ram.

Fresh-new install of Office 2013/Outlook 2013 on above listed desktop...Downloaded 1,000's of inbox e-mails from server which were previously read before hard drive corruption. All e-mails came in and are listed as "new, not read".

Is there a way aside from opening each and every e-mail to have Outlook 2013 reflect that the mails that were downloaded HAVE BEEN READ instead of indicating they are "new". Thanks.

I don't have Outlook 2013 to look at it but you should be able to right-click on the Inbox itself (leftmost panel) and select "Mark folder as read" or something to that effect.
