I believe you are referring to the web interface. Can't you shift-select or CTRL-select your emails and then click on the Actions button on the top-right hand corner of the MM interface and select Mark... ?
Am I missing something?
Got a tip for us?

Yes you do...what you say is correct for one email at the time...as long as you select a second one the "mark" option on the top right corner dissapears...you can't mark (read/unread) more than one mail at the time...
Hmmm, interesting. I've just marked 100+ emails to unread and then back to read again. It seems to work for me.
You might want to contact MobileMe support for this issue that you're having.
It works fine for me too. I can select as many emails as I want and mark then read/unread... all within the Mobile Me web interface. I suspect the poster must have a technical problem.
Irrespective... I do not like using web interfaces to read my mail. I find them slow and clunky... even with very high speed internet access. I much prefer to IMAP sync an email client, and then read, reply delete, mark, file, etc the mails locally without the web getting in my way.
Mobile Me provides a pretty good IMAP mail server, with good push to my multiple clients including my 27" iMac, 13" MBA, iPad, and iPhone. I can access my mail on all of them, and they all stay in perfect sync... and with push... my mobile devices are not chewing on the battery every few minutes to poll for non-existent email.

I use several email addresses depending on what i'm signing up for and who I want to contact. (I use mac mail to pool them all together) But if all MobileMe offered was email I would probably balk at the price. Instead I get web hosting, back-up to an iDisk, access to my iDisk from my iPhone, and my address book and calendar are also synced so my phone has all the data my computer does, including drafts and sent mail using my mac.com address.
The one time I needed to borrow another persons computer, having all my personal settings backed up meant I only had to log into MobileMe on my guest account and everything was how I like it. (Dock on the left and not always visible, etc.) With the amount of tweaking I've done to get things exactly how I like them it's convenient not to be required to do it all over again.
Interesting responses. I'm in the process of rebranding my company and setting up a second one. My clients are finding my long list of emails quite confusing and would rather have just one.
For obvious reasons, I can't make gmail, yahoo as my main accounts and was considering name@me.com.
What impression does this give you from a business perspective?

For me, knowing what MobileMe is, I would say that it gives just as unprofessional of an impression as having a gmail address.
The only serious way to do it is to register domains for your companies and set up email addresses through those domains. Sounds like you already do that. I would stick with it.
Yeah I said that mail was just the MobileMe feature that I used least. I get a little more use out of the others including contacts, calendar, iDisk, and FindMyiPhone. Although to be honest, the only reason that I'm using MobileMe Calendar and Contacts over Google is that back when I bought MobileMe, there was something terribly wrong with the Google Calendar implementation for iPhone where you couldn't input new events directly into the Calendar App, you had to do it through Google's web app on the phone... which blew. I haven't tested it but I'm pretty sure that its fixed by now and that you can get flawless calendar and contact support through Google's Exchange solution for iPhone.
I completely agree with you. When I see an email from a business and it is XXX@yahoo.com or XXX@gmail.com, I immediately from an assumption they are rookies.
