Once installed, when users head to [the email section of their preferences](https://meta.discourse.org/my/preferences/emails), they should see a new preference:

![Mark posts as read when I'm emailed about them](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/e/d/ed9d11bf7c1ad04afdf02cc30f0f82ed72564ce2.png)

Enabling this means that whenever they’re emailed about a post, Discourse will mark the post as read on the website, ensuring their notifications don’t get cluttered up.

The linked repository ([GitHub - mozilla/discourse-post-read-email: INACTIVE - http://mzl.la/ghe-archive - A discourse plugin to give users the option of marking posts as read when emailed · GitHub](https://github.com/mozilla/discourse-post-read-email)) has been archived in June 2024 and has not received commits during the last 6 years. Hence, I am hesitant to add it to the app.yml.

Is there a maintained plugin or option in current discourse to archive “mark post as read on email” ?

For my use-case the receipt/read of the email does not need to be tracked. I want to remove those posts from the new/unread page, for which email notifications have been sent to me.
