Mark Read, Must-Have Tweak To Quickly Mark Mail Messages As Read | Cydia Store

Ever wake up with an inbox full of Facebook emails? Annoyed by newsletters you’re not going to read anyway? Going through all of them just to get rid of the red badge just takes too much time. This is why we invented Mark Read, an easy way to mark either your entire inbox or just the emails you want as read/unread, right within Mail.app.

Exactly: Mark Read is a useful tweak available in Cydia which helps you getting rid of that damn red badge from Mail.app in a few taps.

Simple and effective.

Mark Read is available at $1.99 on the Cydia Store. Read more
