if there is not an option to mark as unread in rules wizard, you can't do
it. How about flagging messages then marking them complete as you read them?
Or use the flag as a view condition and selecting all then marking as
unread?

I am in need of a rule that would mark a message as UNREAD when it comes
into the INBOX.

Before you ask why, permit me to explain. There is a bug in
Exchange/Blackbery Internet Services where an email downloaded to the
blackberry show up in the outlook client as READ when they are
downloaded into the client. (I am using IMAP protocol to get emails into
the BlackBerry).

I am trying to work around this situation. Hence, if I could create a
rule that ran macro that marked the message as UNREAD, that would take
care of the problem. Granted, I am taking care of the SYMPTOM rather
than the disease, but I will take it if I can get it.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance...
