I just switched from my email hosting providers web mail interface to Gmail.
One feature I miss is being able to tell the app to mark messages as read when I archive them.
Example: (In Gmail)
I don't read every message I receive. For most of them, I just look at the subject line or the sender. Then, I bulk-select all messages I don't want to read and archive them all. However, they are still marked as unread in the Gmail "All Mail" view.
Is there a way to tell Gmail that, when I archive a message (or multiple), I want them to a) be moved to the archive folder and b) I want Gmail to mark them all as read?

You can do this with keyboard shortcuts.
With the messages you want to mark as read and archive selected, simply hit Shift+I then E.
The first marks the messages as read, the second archives them.
