Unread emails automatically change to read after a few minutes
in [Outlook]

From: Plasticgeek on 21 Apr 2010 10:09 I have a weird problem that just started today with my email. All new emails (and even the emails I change back to Unread) automatically change to read after about 4 minutes. Now before anyone jumps to conclusion on the cause - The Reading Pane is turned OFF, Auto preview is turned off, I don't have options checked in the Reading Pane window of Tools>Option>Other>Outlook Panes, and I have NO rules whatsoever. I haven't changed anything or updated anything but it started sometime after shutting down the email client the day before and starting it this morning. I've been trying to figure this out for over 4 hours now and it's got me baffled. Any help? Running Windows 7 Enterprise and Office 2007.

Does it happen if you start Outlook in safe mode (hold Ctrl when starting Outlook)? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
