Outlook 2016: Context menu "Mark as unread" not displayed

Question
-
Hello,
when I click on one email, which was already opened, with the right mouse button, the context menu "Mark as unread" is not displayed in the context menu list. I open this e-mail again, closed it and repeated the following steps with the right mouse button, the context menu "Mark as unread" was finally displayed.
Why is it necessary to open an email twice just to be able to mark it as unread? How can I fix this?

Hi,
What's the detailed version of Outlook? You can check this via File > Office Account > About Outlook. Please install the newest updates to see if it works.
If we switch to another view, will same issue occur?
We can first try opening Outlook in safe mode to see if the issue continues. Please exit Outlook, press Win key + R to open the Run command, type outlook.exe /safe and then press Enter. This helps eliminate whether the problem lies on any third party add-ins.
Besides, in case it was related with personal settings, please create a new profile to test the results.
Any updates, please feel free to post back.
Regards,
Perry

Hi,
How is this issue? Does "Mark as Unread" option show correctly?
