Outlook2003 Rules - How can I make the mails I send be automatically marked as read?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 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. -- Show quoteDiane 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: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQU***@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM "ship" <ship***@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1160560985.045630.216160@m73g2000cwd.googlegroups.com... > 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.

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 Show quote > 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. > > > > 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.

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 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. -- Show quoteDiane 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: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQU***@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM "ship" <ship***@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1160588230.678553.189600@m7g2000cwm.googlegroups.com... > > Diane Poremsky [MVP] wrote: >> >> > 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. >> >> 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.

How many clicks is that for each reply?Whuttt! And in any case I cant see where I'd do that. Would I have to do that BEFORE I even hit the reply button? > You can use VBA to pop up a save to folder dialog if you do this for each and every This still sounds like a heck of a lot of clicks per reply.> message. I'll tell you what. Is there any external/3rd party set of tools that just lets you freely write your own Outlook2003 rules? Doing it within Outlook just seems INCREDBLY restrictive and cumbersome - particularly if you handle a large number of emails (like me) and thus need a large number of rules to handle them.
