Outlook Unread Emails

[Jokester]

How do you stop Outlook marking emails as being read when they’ve only been shown in the preview pane? Ie, I only want emails shown as read if I’ve opened them into their own window.

1. Click on the "File" tab in the top left corner of the Outlook window.

2. Click on "Options" in the left-hand menu.

3. In the Outlook Options window, click on "Advanced" in the left-hand menu.

4. Scroll down to the "Outlook panes" section and click on "Reading Pane".

5. In the Reading Pane settings, select "Mark item as read when viewed in the Reading Pane".

6. Uncheck the box next to "Mark items as read when viewed in the Reading Pane for (n) seconds".

7. Click "OK" to save the changes.

Yeah, RTFM as they say, not sure why mine had defaulted to automatically saying stuff was read. Hopefully nothing important was missed…
