By default, Forage will mark emails as read once they are added to your daily Forage emails. This reduces the number of actions you need to take in your inbox in order to process email on a daily basis.
However, some users told us that keeping emails marked unread was critical to how they manage their inbox and keep track of new emails. So, we decided to add an option to turn off the "Automatically mark as read" feature.
You can find this option in the Preferences screen under "Daily Summary Emails".
If you disabled "Mark emails as read when they are added to your daily forage", emails will remain unread in your email account until you mark them read yourself.
We recommend keeping this option enabled and fully embracing the daily forage as the main way to review these emails, but we also want to ensure that Forage handles your email the way YOU want, so we added this option to the product.
