feature request: automatically mark as read YES but NOT when in message preview pane
feature request:
I want "automatically mark as read", but only when the messages are fully openend (i.e. in their own window after doubleclicking on a message)
NOT when they are show in the message preview pane.
I am very often getting a quick overview what has happened, using Menu ... View ... Layout ... Message Pane (F8)
But if one of those mails "is displayed longer than 5 seconds", and it gets marked as "read" - that can turn out really fatal, because I might loose track of that conversation later.
If I switch that option off, then nothing makes the mails go "marked as read", not even when I am opening them in their window. That is bad too. I am using the preview/next buttons, and after 30 mails - the "mark as read" property is not updated. Also bad. Loosing track of which emails I have already read.
sorry for long/complicated description, but I hope you understand me?
Keep up the good work! Kudos for one of the best software solutions on the planet!

where does the colon character go? Your website has a bug?
The Message Pane is not a preview. It opens the message. Your option is to increase the display time in options before marking as read.
Thx a lot for your quick answer.
Yes, that was what I had already feared about the inner workings.
I suggest to redesign that part of the architecture.
Thanks for considering it.
