Hi,

I'm using Outlook 2003 (11.8010.8036) SP2 on XPsp2. It's
often getting updates so I'm pretty sure it's fully updated. I use it
to get my mails via POP from my employer's exchange server.

My problem is that I get some auto-generated emails and want
to move them into a special folder via a rule.

I've successfully created a rule to do this. It moves them into the
folder and marks them as read, but the message flag (the envelope
in the systray) remains present. I can't manage to make that clear
no matter what I do in the rule. It means I have to go into the folder
and open the emails (that are already marked read) to make the
envelope go away.

It's not a huge problem obviously, but it means I can't rely on that
systray envelope to know that I've got some "real" emails that need
reading.

Here's how the rule looks (it's the only rule I have):

Apply this rule after the message arrives from emailaddress and
on this machine only
clear the Message Flag
and move it to the automated foolder
and mark it as read
except if the subject or body contains
stop processing more rules.
