Re: How do I automatically "mark as read"

[Vince Averello [MVP-Outlook]]

OL2003 (and possibly OL2002) include a "Mark as read" action in the Rules
wizard

Sent messages shouldn't be unread when they're moved by rules. Are you
seeing it that way?

You can't have Outboxes for each account. You should be able to sort the
sent items to different folders though. Not sure why the sent items are
showing as unread

Unfortunate, but I understand.

I *am* able to have a copy placed in the different folders that I same
"Outbox" or "Sent Items" or whatever I choose. However, I think since they
are "copies" and they are placed in a different PST file, they are "Unread".
It would be nice to have a "Mark as unread" feature for Outgoing mail as well.

I am seeing it that way... i.e., when I save a copy of a sent message to a
folder by rule it shows up as unread. I don't believe that always happened,
but it seems to now. I just did a repair install of Office 2003 but it
didn't help. Any suggestions?
