Quickly mark all deleted items as read from Deleted Items folder in Outlook

When you delete some emails from the Inbox folder without reading them, all these items that will be located in the Deleted Items folder still keep unread status. This may be annoying when you apply the search feature to look for unread emails. In this case, our Kutools for Outlook supports a useful feature - Mark (Deleted Items) As Read, it helps you to mark all deleted items in the Deleted Items folder as read with only one click.
