Outlook2003 Rules - How can I make the mails I send be automatically marked as read?
Outlook2003 / WinXP
Hi In Outlook2003 rules, how can I make the email I've just sent be flagged up as "read"? The problem is that if I start a blank new rule and go for the "check messages AFTER sending" option, there doesnt appear to be an option to "mark it as read" ! Background: What I'm trying to do is to get *all* my emails (including my outgoing emails) that relevant to a particular subject to be housed in a particular folder. But I dont to see my own emails being flagged up as "unread" if I've sent them. Because I HAVE read them - I read them when I WROTE them! - Any thoughts? Ship Shiperton Henethe

Outlook2003 Rules - How can I make the mails I send be automatically marked as read?
YES - I am using that option. Should I be? What do you mean I have to "MOVE the original before replying"? I am you really saying that I need to drag every email to some mystery loaction before I reply? (that would be a MIGHTY pain) Ship are you using the option in tools, options, email, advanced, in folders other than the inbox... to store replies with the original? if so, and if you move the original before replying, it will work as you want.

When (and how) are you moving the original? Oh I think I understand your question now... The original gets moved when it first arrives using on of several rules. The default is my normal inbox. But depending on various conditions such as who it's too and who it's from it gets moved to a suitable folder. I then open the email in that folder - to read it - and hit reply... But is it actually *relevant* how the original ends up in the folder where it does - confused... Ship Shiperton Heneth

Outlook2003 Rules - How can I make the mails I send be automatically marked as read?
I recommend one of two things over using rules in this situation - reply to
the one in the folder where you want the sent message put or select the folder for the sent message from the options tab before sending. You can use VBA to pop up a save to folder dialog if you do this for each and every message. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "ship" wrote in message ups.com...
