In my options, I have the option checked to mark item as read in Preview
Pane, after 5 seconds. This works fine and dandy most of the time, but
randomly, it won't mark any items as read for a day or so. I thought it was
my a bug on my copy or my machine, but I now work on a new office, new
computer, and just installed Outlook 2003 about three months ago, and it
started happening again! Any ideas?
 
5 seconds can be a long time when you are skimming through emails. make sure
that you are actually looking at each email for at least 5 seconds before
moving on.

If you are worried about a specific message getting marked as "read", you
can also manually change the messages you read to "read" by right-clicking
the message while it is "unread" and selecting "mark as read".

otherwise, I would suggest setting the preview read option to 1 or 0.
Hope this helps.
