Okay, my Outlook has started doing something that's really silly and minor and that I can tell already is going to drive me batshit. I use the preview window, and suddenly this afternoon it's stopped marking emails viewed in the window as read. I checked the Options tab and it looks like it should be marking them properly - and it did, up until today. Anyone got any other ideas?

Anyone got any other ideas?
I'd say close Outlook (and make sure it's not running in the system tray), then try running the Inbox Repair Tool [link] .
ita, if you subscribe to the thread, it does keep track of new messages.
I'm subscribed to two topics. When I go into controls/my topics it shows my current subscriptions and I can see when I subscribed, how many replies and views there are, and when the last post was. Short of signing up for email notifications, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
ita,
when you click on the thread link, it goes to where you left off.
are you not experiencing this?
Der. I see that now. Thanks. So it won't tell me if I have to click or not? Good thing I only care about two topics.
ita, the colors change when you have new messages. I think there may be a text indication as well.
I'll look out for that. Though I'm really sure there's no text indication, but I might have missed colour.
ita,
take a look at this link:
Note the one thread that has a different color? That's the one that only has read messages. The other orange colors, those have unread messages.
Note: please do not make fun of my thread subscriptions
I would not mock someone being as helpful as you are. Okay. I should see that different coloured envelope soon.
Is this explained somewhere? I swear I looked in their FAQ.
