How can I stop some of my emails from automatically showing as read before I view it?
How can I stop some of my messages in my inbox from automatically showing as read before I view it?
In some cases they will show as unread for sometime and also automatically change read without doing anything. I mean, this will happen with hands completely off the key board/mouse, the email's read state it is changing state on its own accord!

What add-ons are you using. What rules have you setup up. I have never heard of Outlook just marking an email as read unless the email was selected and the message was displayed to the user.

Are you using the keyboard cursor keys to cycle through your Outlook folders? Because by cycling through still triggers the "mark as read"?

Did you try a Virus scan? Malware scan? I would still review the add-ons, as per Ramhounds earlier suggestion

I understand having the Reading Pane enabled is a security risk due to the potential launching of malicious script/code within the message. I always disable the Reading Pane especially for the Junk E-mail box. I also have Outlook convert all messages to plain text to help address this issue...
