Is it possible to select and mark some Unread Messages as Read. The intent is to keep the remaining Unread messages for later reading when I don't have time but find some of interest. Sorry if this has already been answered or appears in instructions somewhere. I just have not been able to find this information.
 
Any individual message you open has the option to 'mark as unread' using the dark grey buttons to the right of the text.

I don't believe there is a way to mark multiple messages unread as a group.
 
Thanks for the info. I did know that, but that means that I need to open each message and then mark the ones I want as Unread. I was looking for a way that I could just select those which don't interest me to mark them Read and keep the rest for later when I'm pressed for time. Thanks again, though.
 
A potential shortcut for you...

Option click on the title of the messages you are not interested in and they will open in another window.  Do that on each one going through the list.

That should 'mark them as read individually' in the background to filter them out, and then you just close those windows with a 'close all windows' after you finish the browse session.  At least that is an option in Safari.  Not sure what browser you are using.

See if that solves your need.

I would love this feature as well. Kind of similar to the Apple Mail app, where you can select multiple messages and then act on them.
