With 5 messages, I would hit Tab 5-6 times to jump from where ever my
cursor is at the beginning to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd,
4th, 5th and then a final time to sync/mark the last one as read. So I
can do everything with one key :)

Hello Francesco,

thank you for your reply.
Hm, I don't quite understand what you mean, sorry.
I already have a macro just on Tab not on "o". What do you mean by a
"single command"?
Using Tab is convenient for me, as I can skip through my mostly short
emails until all are "read" and then go back to
whatever I have been doing before.

Best regards,
Martin
