I have certain mail after being read in the Inbox, doesn't show as such in Microsoft Outlook Classic. After deleting, to the Trash, it will still show as not read. I can click on "mark as read" and it will then show as "read" but changes back after a couple seconds as not read. If I have just one email in the Trash, it won't mark as read. If another email in the Trash, then clicking on that previous email then back to the most recent email, then it will show as read.
Please advise as to what I can or should do to rectify that. Thanks.
 
Thanks for the reply, Diane. Here's what I did at the instruction of another. I went to Options / Mail / Reading Pane and under Reading Pane Options / Mark items as read when viewed in the Reading Pane... I put 0 where it says, "Wait ( ) seconds before marking item as read."
That fixed the problem or at least up to now it has.
