I am using Outlook 2007, which receives E-mails from Microsoft Exchange
Server 2003.

We are sharing a common E-Mail Box.

If before I check my E-Mail, someone else has checked the E-Mails of today
and replied, and after that, I logon and check same E-Mails, all E-Mails
received by me are received as marked "READ".

How can I create a rule so that any E-Mail I receive should be marked as
"UNREAD".

Best Regards,

Luqman

You can't as they are received already. You could assign categories for when
you've read an item. This way the people you share the mailbox with will
know who has read it and who has not and makes cleaning up the mailbox a lot
easier. To mimic an unread items folder you can create a custom view which
hides all items with the category of your name.

Hi,

My Issue is that I daily receive 50-80 messages in this common Mail Box and
I want to know, which message I did not read yet, I am not concerned with if
anyone has already read it or not.

I hope you understand what I mean.

I will appreciate if you please let me know any alternate or using custom
action /script in Rules so that my Message should marked as "Unread"
whenever I received on my PC or Laptop.

I am currently using Lotus Notes with the Domino Server and it already has
this option, now due to excellent features in Microsoft Exchange, we want to
switch to it.

Thanks for your help and await your kind assistance.

Best Regards,

Luqman

Mails in shared mailboxes have already been received so there is nothing you
can do with scripts or whatever; you all see the same info.
Instead of using a mailbox your group could consider using a mail enabled
Public Folder to receive mail in. These allow for personal views and
read/write status. Ask your mail admin to set it up.

How about setting up a rule to forward the messages in question to your own
mailbox? There, they will certainly stay unread until you read them.
