I just got the new iPhone 4 from Verizon and I can't figure out how to mark emails as read without actually opening them. It's very annoying!
I've looked around on several websites and all of them say that this can't be done on the iPhone. That being said, I think I've found a work around that may help others. I decided to create a folder in my yahoo email account called Unread Messages, I then access my email on my iPhone and select all the unread emails in my inbox and move them to my Unread Messages folder. Even though the emails are still unread, my iPhone thinks otherwise because the notification telling me I have new emails goes away. It's not ideal but it accomplishes the same thing. Hope this helps anyone looking to resolve this issue.
