Read vs. Unread Status in Zeninbox

Introduction

In Zeninbox, each email has a Read or Unread status to help you quickly identify which messages have been opened and which require your attention. This feature helps you stay organized, ensuring that you don’t miss any important emails by marking them as unread when needed.

The Read vs. Unread status feature in Zeninbox allows you to mark emails as unread after opening them or mark unread emails as read. This flexibility is useful for managing your inbox and keeping track of messages that need follow-up.

Prerequisites

• Permissions: Ensure you have the necessary permissions if you are part of a managed organization setup.

• Important Note: Read vs. Unread status may automatically update when an email is opened, depending on your Zeninbox settings.
