How to automatically mark the email as read while in preview in Outlook?
By default, Outlook won’t mark an email message as read until you select another message. You will find out when you press the Delete key to remove a message you just received while previewing it in the reading pane, that the message you have deleted is still marked as unread in the Deleted Item folder. That may cause inconvenience for you. If you want to automatically mark email as read while in preview in Outlook, please look at the following tutorial.
