Mark Messages as Read in Outlook using OLE

 Keywords:  

---

Question:

Hi, I am trying read messages from outlook's inbox using OLE, that I know how to do. How do I mark the message as read so the next time I read the inbox I do not pick up the same messages as before?

Answer:

Not sure. You might try something like this..

objitem.unread = @false

The following code works for me.

olFolderInbox=6 ;constant DO NOT CHANGE

MSapp = ObjectOpen ("Outlook.Application")

objNameSpace = MSapp.GetNamespace("MAPI")

objFolder = objNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox);  'Access the Inbox

objFolder.Display

objcount=objFolder.Items

mycount=objcount.Count;checks number of messages in inbox!

For xx = 1 to mycount 

  objitem=objFolder.Items(xx)

  myText = objitem.Subject
  objitem.UnRead = @False

  message(StrCat("Message with subject: ",mytext), "Marked as Read")

Next

ObjectClose(MSapp)

exit
