I receive tons of emails from more than 5 email addresses. I cannot find the option to disable the automatic "mark as read" as soon as you click on a mail . Can you guide me here?
I tried: defaults write com.apple.Mail MarkAsReadDelay XXX with XXX a number I had it working on an OSX 16+ before it died :-(

That feature has never been available directly with Mail without the use of a plugin. Unfortunately, Apple has also killed the ability to use most all plugins with Mail. And as you've found, the old Terminal hack no longer works, either.
Unfortunately, there is no solution other than switching email clients to something more modern and flexible.
Apple has chosen to force developers to use the new extension format, which apparently no developer wants to do. SmallCubed (the developer that offered a plugin that does exactly what you're asking) has gone as far as not only stopping development on the plugin, but creating their own email client to compete with Apple's Mail.
