Mark Outlook as read using VBA?

Question

Is there a way to mark a message as read if a message was sent to this message?

Can I mark both as read?

Answer 1

The appearance of MailItem has the .UnRead property:

Gets or sets the boolean True if the Outlook item has not been opened (read). Read / write.

Assuming you have a handle to these mail items, just set their appropriate .UnRead = False to mark them read.
