First, sorry I posted in wrong Discussion group.

Second, nevermind. I figured it out! The rule needs to be created from
within the Sent Items folder.

I have a rule to save sent emails to a particular person in a folder. Works
great except they always show us as unread in that folder. As I am the one
that sent the email, I have obviously read it, so I want the message to be
marked as "read". I can't seem to find a way to do this.

TIA
