When using outlook 2010 and Gmail / IMAP using a rule to move a message to a folder also marks it as read. There is a previous question on this topic but no answers that work for me. The first answer says that should not happen (incorrect when using gmail / IMAP) and the second offers a VBA option that does not appear to do anything. I tried this code with no luck:
Sub unread(MyItem As MailItem)
MyItem.unread = True
End Sub
Any suggestions other than don't use outlook with gmail (which I wish was an option)? Do I need to move the message with vba also?
EDIT: No, mark as read is not checked.
This may seem like a silly question, but is the "Mark as read" option selected within the rule settings? Sometimes Outlook thinks you want it marked as read when it is moved. – CharlieRB – 2015-02-02T17:19:55.693
