Back in 2015 someone asked about the fact that emails are not marked "as read" once opened but I don't think the answer was ever fully given. They were told:
"This option has always been available and I use it.
via Menu Bar
Tools > Options > Advanced > Reading & Display
or
via menu icon
menu icon > Options > Options > Advanced > Reading & Display
select: 'automatically mark messages as read'
Select: 'Immediately on display'
click on OK
When you select/left click an email in the list, it will auto open and display in the Message Pane below the list.
If you use double click, it will auto open in a new tab or window depending upon what you selected.
In bth instances the message will be immediately marked as read."
Here's my problem with that .... I don't use the "Message Pane", I don't like it. I have my incoming messages set at "table view" and they are all just listed down the page by date. I don't want to see what's in the email until I actually open it....but, once I open it and read it when I close out of it the email still stays BOLD in the list....this didn't used to happen, once I read the email the BOLD went away. When I use the "automatically mark message as read immediately on display" then new emails are not in BOLD so I can't tell if they've been read or not. Bottom line, is there a way to have messages marked "read" AFTER they are opened WITHOUT using the message pane??
