When I open Outlook, it selects the first unread or read mail in inbox. But the selected mail is the most recent.
I want to read the Unreads from bottom to top. When I change the selection to the oldest unread mail, the top unread mail is being read. It's annoying.
I want to read that, later. But, the first mail becomes always read.
So just go back and read it? If you're aware of the problem it shouldn't matter that it's marked as read, right, you KNOW you need to read it... – Shinrai – 2010-08-11T15:05:02.617
1but, if a lot of "new" e-mails are coming at the same time, you lose exact read status. have you read that e-mail really? it's absolutely hard when that e-mail remains read among lots of unread mails. – mucit – 2010-08-13T05:51:56.780
@Shinrai I have a different problem but making outlook not selecting the first email would fix it too. If my inbox is empty and one email arrives, outlook will show a desktop alert and will add an icon in the notification area, then outlook will select the first email and mark it as read after two seconds (I set it up like that) and I will lose my notification area icon and won't know there's an email I haven't read until another one arrives. We shouldn't have to work around it and remember which ones I have read or in my case keep opening outlook to see if I have just one email. – Rismo – 2012-12-11T21:24:19.300
