Hi folks,
I have several accounts under Outlook 07. One is an exchange account
and the rest are pop3.

I have various rules set up for each account for outgoing messages to
be copied to my inbox then filed in various folders according to
subject matter. As they are outgoing emails I want them to be marked
as read - but how?

Obviously I've searched the net for "custom action mark as read
outlook" but I can't seem to find anything for Outlook versions later
than 2000.

I have no C++ experience so wouldn't know how to begin writing such a
thing myself.

So ... what's a girl to do to make outgoing emails marked as read when
copied to the inbox then sent off to folders?

Thank you in advance for advice or link to something I can install.

Jo

Outlook doesn't have the ability to mark outgoing messages as read. My
approach is simply to right-click a folder periodically and choose Mark All as
Read, I imagine it could be done with code, but I prefer a simpler approach.

If the messages are not in the default Inbox, use the option to save sent
messages with the original then you won't need rules.

tools, options, email options, advanced - in folders other than the
inbox....

Thanks Diane, if I use that option, will the messages always be
linked? Eg if I leave the original in my inbox then move it to another
folder later, will Outlook still know to grab both in and out messages
then?

Thanks, so as expected, I need an action that marks outgoing messages
as read. Any suggestions?

Try markread from he http://www.slipstick.com/addins/gallery/ I don't
recall if it works with Outlook 2007.

Markread was built in 1997 and the readme says it does not work with
Outlook 03 so I sincerely doubt 07 will be any better.
I never install potentially dodgy software on a Friday afternoon so
will definitely not be trying that.

so ... still hoping someone can help.

Unless you write your own code, then, it doesn't look like it will be
possible.
