In Microsoft Outlook 2016, immediately mark an new email as read

0

In Outlook 2016 and in Folder view Pane, when I receive a new e-mail and I'm reading it as follows:

enter image description here

It's not immediately marked as read until I click on another e-mail or I press CTRL+Q.

How can I change this?

You can specify the seconds it takes to mark a message as read. Setting this value to 0 will mark them immediately, as you want - see this link for a detailed how-to:

In Outlook:

  1. Click File

  2. Click Options

  3. Click Mail

  4. Check "Mark items as read when viewed in the Reading Pane"

  5. Set "Wait" to zero

  6. Click OK

Thank you, that's exactly what I needed! I didn't choose your answer because it wasn't the first and also to encourage the new user, but of course you got +1. – JKHA – 2019-05-27T15:31:14.493
