My suggestion is:
A “read” button beside each message.
Why?:
Because sometimes I have a lot of messages and not enough time to read them all (usually 5-15 messages daily) and later when I load the messages page again, I don't know which messages are read and which are not yet read.
Please support!

Rather than a button labeled “read,” I think the icon which is bold when unread and faded when read should be the button. Hovering over over it on a computer would say mark as read/unread. Clicking on the link would only mark one message as read rather than all of them. There would need to be a mark all as read button which would do the same as opening the mailbox does now.

Also a tip for using the current setup: If you press control on Windows or command on Mac it will open a link in a new tab. If you don't have many messages, you can open them all in their own tab and close them as you read them. You can also press control/command + shift if you would rather open one at a time.

I don't think my computer will be able to handle 4824 new tabs…

Also there could be a feature where you could search for messages from a specific studio/project/user in case you're a popular scratcher and wanted to search for messages from a friend without having to scroll through thousands of fan comments.

5-15 messages is not actually that many. I sometimes get loads of messages a day.

and later when I load the messages page again, I don't know which messages are read and which are not yet read.

Yeah, especially when there's a bug with messages from last year popping up today on the loose.

I like this, but I think it would be a pain to click everyone so no support, unless it could be done a differenti way.

It can't be hovering. It doesn't work on mobile devices, and therefore can't work for those of us on mobile devices (to whom messages that you have read that are still appearing as unread are equally annoying). I think that a “mark as read” button (similar to the way it works in your email) would be better.
