Marking a conversation as Read or Unread Follow

Outpost will automatically mark all incoming conversations as Unread. When you open a conversation and view it, Outpost will mark the message as Read either immediately, after a delay of up to 5 seconds, or never, depending on the setting that is selected in the Preferences menu. You can manually change whether a message is marked as Read or Unread anytime you need.
