can I set email to show as read when I click on the email

There is a setting for that at settings>general under "Reading & Display' section

I set "Mark as read automatically at display," and that did not do anything. Also, there is a green dot to the left of unread messages, which I had not seen before updating to version 152.

Do you open messages in the message pane or in new tabs ?

When I hover over a new email and click it once, it does not change to indicate it as read. I have to click twice to show the actual message; then it shows as read. This seems to have changed in the new version. Previously, I just had to click it once, and it would then indicate it as read. Without reading the actual message, what settings do I need to change to revert to the original way?

Never mind, I found the fix.

Thanks. Would you please share whatever fixed this for you? Thanks much.

I was not showing the actual email message in the right panel. Now, when I click the email once and the message appears in the right panel, it shows as read.
