outlook rule, move to deleted folder and mark as read

[Geoffw]

I have this rule working OK

email with certain words in subject move to deleted items
folder and stop processing more rules.

However when the rule is moved to the deleted items folder
they are still marked as unread,

what do I need to do to move them to the deleted items
folder AND mark them as read.

Unfortunately the "new mail" icon on the task bar still
shows new mail even if it has been moved to the deleted
items folder, which is causing me to check the new email. I
would prefer to know only about valid email notifications

thanks

Geoff

version of outlook? you probably can't get rid of the new mail icon, but
newer versions can mark as read with a rules action before moving.

I think the mark as read action was added to 2002... deleting the messages
will not remove the tray envelope in most cases.

thanks version 2000

looks like I am stuck with it "mark as read" does not appear
to be available.

Does permanentlt delete resolve this issue ? not sure I want
to do that as I still like to check that deleted items
before exiting outlook (set to delete "deleted folder" on
exit)
