Hi y'all, After searching the forum I've found topics similar to my questioning but no solution at all. Yes, I understand that once I click on the email and it shows on the message pane, it's literally open. That seems to be the obvious answer every time some is looking for keeping their emails unread for a later time. I have along the day a very very demanding work flow based on my emails and many of them are problems that I need to solve at some point later - sometimes the same day, sometimes the next, sometimes... any time in the next week and so on. What the heck, sometimes I have three, four demands arriving at the same time in my inbox and all of them are asked to be treated as priority... I'm sure many of you all know this paradox of modern life, right? That said, I need to start something right away while keeping others for a later moment. And having them marked as already "read" is a big risk of having it forgotten along the way. I'd like to be able to read a preview/have the email open in the message pane and only have it marked as read if I double-click/open it. But not necessarily only if double-clicked... it could also be any other trigger that could allow me to check the message content without automatically having it marked as read. Maybe in addition to a message pane there could be a preview pane option doing the same as the message pane but differentiated by not marking the email as read. Maybe there could be that old "picaview" style option of displaying a real preview window by clicking with the right button of the mouse so you could check it keeping it unread... I don't know, anything. Going for that small dot every single time I want to keep it unread is really nerve-wrecking, not to mention when you finish reading that email It was OK to mark it as read, but after moving or deleting it, automatically the cursor goes to the next message marking it read... and you didn't want that. There you go for that green dot. thanks in advance!
