Hi Gene. That's one I've never seen before. The only thing I can think of is this. Are you using the Preview Pane? If so, go to Tools>Options (in your inbox...not inside a mail) and click on Other tab, then click on the Preview Pane button and UNCHECK where it says to "mark messages as read in preview window" However, if that doesn't do it, try running Detect and Repair from Outlook's Help menu Good luck...let us know how you do.
