email status changed to "read".

[geronimo]

First some facts...
1. Dell Inspiron 8600; only three weeks old.
2. Alps touchpad is super sensitive (Dell replaced it
after just one week).
As an example of its sensitivity, assume there are five
applications open (all screens at Max setting).
While not even touching the pad, it will close out the
application if the cursor happens to be setting on the "X".
It will continue to close each remaining one until just
the desktop is showing.
3. I want to disable the tapping and Dell cannot tell me
how to do that.

What I hope to find out in this newsgroup is, "In
Outlook2003, if I have say ten unread emails and I pass
the cursor over each unread email, it should not be normal
for the emails to change to "read", should it?
This sort of thing did not happen to me when running
Outlook2000 on my IBM laptop with its red-dot pointer.
I am presumming that something is wrong with the Dell's
touchpad.
How I hate Dell's Alps touchpad!!!

You should be able to hook up a mouse to the laptop. If that corrects the
problem, then it's likely the touchpad.
