Turn off marking email as read?

I'm using Mail 3.5. How do I stop emails being automatically marked as 'READ' once I've scrolled onto it? I want to be able to leave it as 'UNREAD' until i double click on the email so it opens in another window, the same way the Outlook does.
I know I can go and mark the email as unread but this is a hassle and does not solve to problem when I skimming through my emails, picking out which ones to read and respond too.

IPhone keep turning off my email notification

iPhone keep on automatically turn off my email notification. I've about 10 mailbox configured and iPhone are turning some banners alert, lock screen, etc for the notification off for random mailbox at random time. I turn them on and it happens over and over again. It might be iOS to fight annoying email notification but I've got important email comings in.

Hi ManiPictures,
If your iPhone shuts down unexpectedly during use, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
As your iPhone's operating system is already up to date with iOS 8.1.1, follow the last instruction -
If you still see this issue after updating, contact Apple Support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipad mini marks emails as read and groups emails together

Hi -
Happy New Year to you all!
I have just bought an Ipad Mini 2 which I love, however I have an issue which hopefully can be solved.
On my iPhone, I can open my emails, email by email and actually have to click on an email for it to be displayed and marked as read.
On my ipad, it previews the emails to the right of the screen and marks the email as read...
Can this be altered as I risk not seeing an email with it not being unread.
Also, when I click on an email, it groups all emails together with the same subject, i.e. subject title 'Hi' will group all 'Hi's' together.
Is there a way of switching this off also?
Thank you for all of your help.
Ben

Turn off "Organise by Thread" (on the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" page of the Settings app,) to prevent this.

Can't Turn Off Push Email

I am using Exchange for my email but I can't stop the push email. I would rather have it fetch email every 15 minutes to save battery life. When I go into settings, I have the following set:
Under Fetch New Data - Every 15 Minutes
Push is turned Off
Under Advanced and then under my email account I have it set to Fetch.
I don't see any other place that I need to change but when ever I get an email on my desktop computer I get it immediately on my iPhone as well. I tried to set it to manual and that works.
Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks.

Sure Apple and Yahoo allow this, but it is up to the user to know the difference when creating the account. This is called garbage in = garbage out, which happens to everyone on occasion.
When creating a Yahoo account with the Yahoo account preset on the iPhone, the account is created as an IMAP account with Push access. Turning Push access off for recieved messages doesn't change or switch the account to a POP account. It is still an IMAP account with Push access turned off.
You want to access the account as a POP account. If so, delete your Yahoo account on the iPhone and when re-creating the account select "Other" instead. After the data entry on the first screen, select POP as the account type followed by entering the required settings for accessing the account as a POP account.
