Marking messages helps you keep track of what still needs your attention. RoundCube lets you mark messages as read, unread, or flagged.

## Mark a message

1. Select a message (or several) in your list, or open a message.
2. Click **Mark** in the toolbar and choose an option:

   - **As read** / **As unread** - a bold subject and a dot indicate an unread message; marking it read clears that.
   - **As flagged** / **As unflagged** - adds a flag so you can spot important messages and find them again easily.

:::tip
You can also mark a message read or unread quickly by clicking the unread dot next to it in the message list.
