Do you want Microsoft Outlook to show messages as read faster or slower?

To adjust the setting, first go to File, then click Options:

Next, click Mail on the left side, then click Reading Pane on the right side:

Within the Reading Pane options you can add or subtract the number seconds before a message shows as read, or disable the setting.

Also, please note that Outlook also has the option to right an email and select Mark as read / unread:
