Outlook 2007 telling my host when messages have been read
Hoping this is the right forum to post this in. If not, a lead toward the right place would be appreciated.
When i'm home, I read my mail on Outlook 2007 on my Win7 computer and all is well. When I am not home, though, I log on directly to my web hosting company's interface (called CPX) and read my email there. About three months ago, I noticed that almost everything I was reading on CPX was getting marked as read before I read it. We test it all kinds of ways and were baffled. Well, I finally found a key bit of info. When my home computer had Outlook off (which it rarely is), suddenly CPX worked great. As soon as I turned on Outlook, though, all my email on CPX started getting marked as read...even spam that I hadn't read at all on Outlook.
So, it seems, something in my Outlook 2007 is telling my host now that email is read simply by its being downloaded into Outlook. This is very frustrating when I'm out for the day, using CPX a lot, and can't tell what I've read.
What would I have to change in Outlook to say, "Stop telling my host that this email has been read!" Strange that this didn't happen for many years and then suddenly started to.
Thanks!
