asked on Thunderbird: Mark as read only when opened
In Outlook, I was able to set it up so that I could view a message in a preview pane without it being marked as read, but when I actually opened the message by double clicking it, it would mark the message as read. Is there a way to do that in Thunderbird? I only see a time based option which is the same amount of time for both the preview pane and for when you open a message in a new window / tab.
If it matters, the computer is running Windows 7

jcimarron, 16 minutes would probably be plenty, but the problem then is when I open the message I have to wait 16 minutes or manually mark it as read.
ElrondCT, that's what I'm looking to do, but I was hoping to be able to keep the message pane / preview pane.
I'll leave the question open for a little bit longer in case there's a plugin that someone knows about or jcimarron has a solution.

Bummed that Thunderbird doesn't work like other mail clients I've used in the past, but looks like the right answer is that it can't do what I want it to do.
But some other thoughts
