re :I configured mail to be marked read immediately upon display

When you are reading the second to last email, it should already be marked as read and the last email is still unread, so that when you click on 'Next unread' button the focus moves to the last email and marks it as read immediately. The selected last email should be changed to read status when selected. Are you saying that it does not mark immediately as read when you have focus on the last email? That is before you click on 'Next unread' button to go to next in a different folder.

That is correct. It does not mark a message as read until I click to go to the next unread message.

Does it do this if you use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move to next in the list; the last one?

The down arrow key only moves the focus to the following folder, and does not land on or display a message in that folder

What sort order are you using? eg: View > Sort by > Date - Descending - unthreaded

I'm using different sort orders depending on the folder, but generally, it's Sort by > Date - Ascending - and either threaded or unthreaded (some folders have no threaded conversations so there's no need to choose threaded)

Please confirm you have this: Tools > Options > Advanced > Reading & display tab select: 'automatically mark messages as read' select: 'Immediately on display'

Those are the settings I have. I've tried changing them and setting to After Displaying for 1 second, and then restarting; then, changing back to Immediately on display, and restarting, but nothing changed
