Why do I have to mark all as read

[Andoheb]

In my main email address, when I delete something, it's hurled to the Deleted folder and that's it.
In my other email addresses, when I delete something, it shows up as "unread" in the Deleted Folder. Why do I have to "mark all as read" in these other email accounts and not in my main one. It's something that is causing great stress, sending me into the depths of despair, gloom and doom, deep dark depression, excessive misery.


Has anyone got an explanation for this and how I can overcome it please?

Set the option to mark any message as read when viewed in the reading pane. If you set the associated time to 0, the message will be marked as read when it is selected for deletion, if the viewing pane is displayed.

When I follow your directions, as soon as the email comes in, it disappears. Having four email addresses, that doesn't seem to be that convenient, for although I'm notified by a sound when mail comes in, I have to look through each to see where it is.
Maybe I'm not following correctly. I went to Options / Mail / Reading Pane, checked off "Mark items as read" set the 5 to 0.
Whatever, this is still not working the way my main email address is. Any other suggestions?
