Messages Appear Opened When I Haven't Opened Them

Hi, Is there a glitch or something that would cause some messages which appear unread in my Inbox, to appear opened/read in my Deleted folder? I know I haven't opened any of them, but when I review contents before emptying my Deleted folder, some appear opened and others do not.

There shouldn't be, no. If some of your messages appear read that you haven't read, you should make sure your email account is secure. Change your password, and if anyone else has access to any devices you use to access your account, make sure they don't save your information. Many phones, tablets, laptops and PCs will automatically save your username and password information for convenience. This isn't a good idea to let it do that if you share any of those things with anyone else. So I would go under settings and clear out cache and clear out saved form and password information and keep it unsaved just in case. And change your password to your hotmail account. If you've given it to anyone else, they would be the likely culprit. If you share your devices with one or more people, one of them might be accessing your information. (To be fair, if they aren't tech savvy, it's possible they could be accidentally logging into your account without realizing it isn't their own. You'd know better than anyone if that could be the case.). Always keep your information secure.
