Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am using my mailbox as a "task list" and here it is crucial to not auto-mark mals as "seen". Most mail application have an option to disable this and it would be really great to see it here too! I have noticed a closed issue where this topic was mentioned by the only thing that was changed was a delay of 2 seconds beeing added before the "seen" flag is set. That is unfortunately not enought for me.
I really like this app and would love to use it, but without that option it is not possible for me.
Describe the solution you'd like
A very simple solution: add an option "do not mark as seen automatically" that is "false" by default but can be activated in global options.
Describe alternatives you've considered
No real alternatives for me here.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the automatic “mark as seen” behavior and the handling of global options in the mail app. Done means a configurable option prevents automatic marking when enabled while preserving the current default behavior.
