no you misunderstood

I don't want a button to mark selected emails as read/unread

I want a button that will display only unread emails or all emails (toggle) in the email list view

Can this be done, currently, via some other method like a hotkey or menu item?

a button is the most convenient, as it's immediately accessible
just like in Thunderbird, but I need it in Outlook (not Office Online)

brilliant find! thanks!

You can add the "Change View" button to the "Quick Access Toolbar" which would make this a two-click operation.  I don't think there is a way to add a discrete button for that type of action.  Here's a screenshot of it added to the "Quick Access Toolbar":

is there maybe a keyboard shortcut maybe, faster than searching the menu entry which is two clicks?

No clue.  I'm not an Outlook user.

That button can also be added to the Ribbon, but you'll have to create a new group for it in one of the Ribbon-tabs, you can't add it to an existing group.

Assigning hotkeys, or at least the closest to what Outlook allows/supports, is described here: http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/custom-shortcuts-in-outlook-2010
