Do not automatically mark mail as read in Outlook

You may know already, but few of my friends facing the below confusion , so thought of sharing with you.


When quickly going through my emails, often we haven’t actually really read the emails but Outlook already marks them as read. This is quite confusing unless we mark them as unread again which takes more time and defeats the purpose of quickly going through our emails.


The options for how and when Outlook should mark emails as read can be found in;

Outlook 2007 and previous
Tools-> Options…-> tab Other-> button Reading Pane…
Outlook 2010, Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2016
tab View-> Reading Pane-> Options…


The default is set to mark items as read when you select another email. When you disable this option, all mails remain as unread unless you manually mark it as read or double click the message to open it in its own window.







Once you uncheck  “mark items as read when selection changes”, the mail will change to read only when you double click and open.
