I have the following code in my Outlook today page to list the emails in my
inbox and provide a link to open them. My question is how do I mark the
emails as read when I click on them?


script language="VBScript" type="text/vbscript"

Function GetInboxSubjects()
Dim theApp
Dim theOLNS
Dim inboxFolder
Dim mSubject, MyArray, MyMsg

Set theApp = window.external.OutlookApplication
Set theOLNS = theApp.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
Set inboxFolder = theOLNS.GetDefaultFolder(6)

For Each InboxItem In inboxFolder.Items

'Check if message has been read or not
If InboxItem.UnRead = True then
TF = "No"
Else
TF = "Yes"
End If

'Email information table
mList = "TABLE WIDTH='100%' BORDER='0' CELLPADDING='3' CELLSPACING='0'
FRAME='below' style='table-layout:fixed'TRTD WIDTH='25%' style='border-
color:black; border-width:0' nowrapA HREF='outlook:inbox/"& InboxItem.
EntryID & "' title='Read " & InboxItem.Subject & "'" & InboxItem.SenderName
& "/A/TDTD WIDTH='43%' style='border-color:black; border-width:0'
nowrapA HREF='outlook:inbox/"& InboxItem.EntryID & "' title='Read " &
InboxItem.Subject & "'" & InboxItem.Subject & "/A/TDTD WIDTH=25%'
style='border-color:black; border-width:0' nowrap" & InboxItem.SentOn &
"/TDTD WIDTH='7%' style='border-color:black; border-width:0' nowrap" & TF
& "/TD/TR" & mList
Next

'Header table
mList = "TABLE WIDTH='100%' BGCOLOR='Silver' BORDER='1' CELLPADDING='3'
CELLSPACING='0' FRAME='rhs' style='table-layout:fixed'TRTD WIDTH='25%'
style='border-color:black; border-width:0'Sender/TDTD WIDTH='43%'
style='border-color:black'Subject/TDTD WIDTH='25%' style='border-color:

silver'Read/TD/TR/TABLE" & mList

'Fill the div
document.getElementById("Subject").innerHTML = mList

'Update the table every 30 seconds
cTimer = setTimeout("GetInboxSubjects()",30000)

Set theApp = Nothing
Set theOLNS = Nothing
Set inboxFolder = Nothing

End Function
/Script

Have you tried to set teh Unread property to false?
Do not loop through all the messages in a folder. Use Items.Find/FindNext

What is the relevant snippet of your code? Do you call MailItem.Save?

Here is what I have so far...it doen's even fire the MsgBox.
Sub MarkAsRead()
Dim theApp
Dim theOLNS

Set theApp = window.external.OutlookApplication
Set theOLNS = theApp.ActiveExplorer.Selection(1)

MsgBox "Marking as read"

If theOLNS.UnRead = True then
theOLNS.UnRead = False
theOLNS.Save
End If

Set theApp = Nothing
Set theOLNS = Nothing

End Sub

Which is a good indication that the MarkAsRead sub does not even get called,
right?
