    Outlook Mail marking my new emails as "read"


    When I turn on the computer, open up Outlook Mail I might receive say 25 emails. Initially the are highlighted bold (not read) but if I walk away and come back in 30 minutes the are no longer highlighted bold and are now "read" This causes me to search my many emails trying to decipher which I've already viewed, etc. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Windows 10 Mail not marking emails as read

    1. Go to mail app, Setting > Reading Pane > "Mark item as read" section.
    2. There you can select how you want the mail app to know when any mail is read, either by:
      • marking it as read on selection change, or
      • marking it as read if mail is viewed by more than 5 (or any) seconds

    Windows 10 Mail not marking emails as read

    I have just set up windows 10 mail to use both my gmail and yahoo mail accounts. However, when I look at an email in the Mail app, it does not mark them as read (for either account).

    Is there a fix for this?

    Thanks
