In Geary > Preferences, there is the "Automatically select next 
message" pref, which if you unselect will prevent Geary from loading 
conversations when you change folders or archive/trash/etc a 
conversation. Would this by itself work for you?

If not, I'd be interested to know why you don't want email 
automatically marked read? It would help in designing the 
implementation. See 
<<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795187>> for my current 
thoughts about it.

Cheers,
//Mike
