New Outlook - Messages stay "unread" even after double click
Yes, it works (I seem to remember trying this setting before without results). Thank you.
Update, does not work anymore today: Double click to open and just "read" the e-mail (no forward, no reply ...) --> mail stays "unread". Not the behaviour I want.
That is how it worked for me when posted earlier - opening or using the reading pane is not marked as read when the option is set to not mark as read. You'll need to manually mark it - either click the bar on the left or right click and choose mark as read to mark read. Or change the mark as read options to mark after 5 seconds (or one of the other options).
I don't know if it is a bug or by design that opening a message in new Outlook or outlook web will as mark as read, but will ask support.
