Are you using external storage, if yes which one: local/smb/sftp/...

Are you using encryption: no

Are you using an external user-backend, if yes which one: LDAP/ActiveDirectory/Webdav/...

LDAP configuration (delete this part if not used)

With access to your command line run e.g.:
sudo -u www-data php occ ldap:show-config
from within your Nextcloud installation folder

Without access to your command line download the data/owncloud.db to your local
computer or access your SQL server remotely and run the select query:
SELECT * FROM `oc_appconfig` WHERE `appid` = 'user_ldap';


Eventually replace sensitive data as the name/IP-address of your LDAP server or groups.

Duplicate of #205.

Not solved yet

I'd like to come back to this issue since it was not yet solved in my opinion.
Issue 205 is just about the possibility to flip the read state using the u key.

Requested was an option to stop the client from marking read by himself as possible in almost every mail-client. There are options to let the user choose the time delay to mark as read or whether this must be handled manually. (sometimes indicated with a 0 in the time field.)

Is there anything I can do to have that option available?

You could contribute a fix 😉

Too bad that this issue has been closed. As I like to leave messages unread as simple reminder for myself that I need to do something about the mail. I use it as a kind of "done" marker, which works for me pretty well.

Same here. A config option "do not mark as read automatically" would be of great value.
Thanks!
