If I get an email outlook makes it's title et cetera bold since it is

shows with a bold and a bold (1) since I have not read it, like it is
screaming hey, hey read this message.

Is there a way I can by default set all messages I delete (and hence
move to the deleted folder) as read, so the folder stays in normal
font?

I don't think you can do what you want, but if you know it's junk. hold down
the Shift key when you delete it and it will be permanently deleted; i.e.,
it will bypass the Deleted Items folder completely.
