Is there a Shortcut for "Mark all messages as read" in Outlook?

I am trying to find a shortcut for marking all messages (eMails) in a folder as read by using a keyboard shortcut, but had no luck in finding one so far.

I am using Microsoft Outlook 2010 and when I open the context menu (right click on the folder), it shows the "e" underlined in "Mark All as Read", which is in my opinion a sign for a shortcut.

Does anybody know the shortcut?

You could put the "Mark All as Read" command into the Quick Access Toolbar like so:

After that you can access the function via Alt+3. The number depends on the position where you place the command. Press Alt by itself to make Outlook display overlays for all hotkeys.
