My favourite Outlook setting, I’ve used this setting since I started working with Outlook, when I get setup somewhere new it’s the first setting I apply.

Turning off automatically marking an email as read.

It’s simple, emails stay marked as unread, but if I don’t need to do anything with the email, I manually mark it as read, if I need to do something I leave it, it stays highlighted and I know I have to come back to that email.

The 3 minute video shows you how you can change this setting in Classic and New Outlook to make your emails feel more like they work with you than against you.

What’s your go to setting that you always need to set?
