Mark Sent as Read

[Dave]

I've searched for how to do this and found old posts that says there is no
way ... I'm sure there is because Outlook does it itself (it copies a sent
message to the Sent Mail folder and it's marked as read). If not via menus,
there must be a way via VBA.

Has anyone figured out how to do this? E.g., I copy all sent messages to an
archive but I can't mark them as read ... i want them marked as read.

Thanks

Have you tried getting each copy and setting the UnRead property to False,
then saving the item?

How do I go about doing that? I've programmed VBA in Word macros and windows
script, but never in Outlook ... i'm a newbie in this area ... thanks, Dave

You might want to start by searching on www.outlookcode.com for Outlook VBA
sample code for that. There are code samples for marking items as read as
well as for moving items.
