E-mail won't mark as read

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this for me... I
can't find anything anywhere else.

For the past 3 years, I've used Outlook 2000, and have
always had it set so that when you click on a message it
marks it as read (Changed the time value to "0" in the
PreviewPane options). This has always worked great until
this morning. Now, the messages will not mark as read when
I click on them and view through the preveiw pane... only
when I double click on them to open the messgae, or when I
reply to the message. I haven't changed any settings in
the last 24 hours... and it worked when I shut my computer
off last night, and didnm't work when I turned it back on
this morning.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Well, I don't have Outlook 2000 to verify the exact menu
location, but...It is somewhere under Tools/Options I
think...on that dialog box with many tabs that you set all
your mail options on. You can specify how and when you
want your messages to be marked as "Read". Check that out.

As for why it would change...well, that's computers for
you! I've had settings mysteriously change for no reason
many times before. Just the nature of the beast.

Sorry I can't be more specific...just my 2 cents worth.
Good luck!
 
Thanks, but the reason for my problem is that it's already
set for what I want. I've changed it to mark as read after
selected for 0 seconds, 1 second, 5 seconds, etc, and even
though that's what it's supposed to do, it doesn't. That's
my problem

If I select mark as read when selection changes, THAT
works fine, but I don't want it on that, I want my
messages marked as read when I click on them

Thanks

Don
