I have my outlook/exchange mail account setup in Outlook 2003
I have had Outlook running in cached mode off and on over the years so I have an OST file
I have added an internet email account to my outlook

will I now have 2 OST files ? the existing one....and is there now a new one for this internet email account I have added ?

thanks
 
2 ost files? Assuming this is related to the other question, if you are using Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 and added the Internet account as an IMAP account, you'd have a pst file for the internet account, not an ost. Outlook 2013 uses an ost for IMAP accounts.

Whether is it an ost or pst, if you have a data file for that account, then it was added as an IMAP account. Messages on the server are marked read if outlook marked them read - and if you have outlook automatically mark mail as read when previewed 5 seconds or when you switch messages, its possible to mark mail as read and not intentionally read it. If Outlook is not set to mark mail read automatically, then it's only marked as read when you open the message. If you opened it, its a little harder to argue that you didn't read it but there are valid reasons for opening a mail and while you'd view it and see some or all of the text, you might not intentionally read it.

FWIW, I see a lot of private email when I help people configure outlook using gotomeeting - its in the reading pane and i see the words but i don't intentionally read it. There is a big difference between intentionally reading someone's mail and having it come into view as you are fixing their email client.
