Hello,
This free VBA Macro code to automatically Mark incoming emails as read automatically once they
moved to the Junk Email and to the Deleted Folders. The code also can be easily modified to do it
with any other outlook folders.
What this project will do for you in outlook
==============================
Once installed as explained below correctly, all emails moved the Junk Email folder and the deleted folder
will be marked as read automatically. This will make you not bothered about these folder names display
as bold and the number of unread emails in these folders will not also display, so you will forget these folders
except every long time you just empty them.
This macro also will mark emails moved to a folder called "Sales" as Unread, you can create this folder
and create a rule to move specific emails to it say for your orders or sales and will be marked as Unread.
This project is a base code for anyone who can customize to manage Outlook email messages
very easily.
The VBA project consists of 2 source code files:
ThisOutlookSession.cls
mJunkEmailMarkRead.bas
Installation
To install this VBA Macro in your outlook, download the zip file, unzip,
*)-Start your Outlook
*)-Tools->Macros->Visual Basic Editor, or simply just click "ALT+F11", this will start visual basic editor.
*)-In Visual Basic Editor, File->Import File, then select the file ThisOutlookSession.cls from the folder
where you unzipped the package.
*)-Repeat the previous step for the file mJunkEmailMarkRead.bas
You should see these two files now in VBA.
*)-In VB Editor, click on Tools->Digital Signature to create a certificate for the VBA project self signed.
*)-Save this project from the menu File->Save VbaProject.OTM. *)- Make sure the file ThisOutlookSession.cls is imported under the class ThisOutlookSession and not ThisOutlookSession1 or else. Simply just copy the contents of this class file to the ThisOutlookSession created by default under Microsoft Outlook Object.
Now you can close the VB Editor and go back to outlook.
In Outlook, from the Menu Tools->Macros->Security, you may need to set it to low or medium
In Outlook, from the Menu Tools->Macros->Macros..., you should see the macro named JunkEmailMarkRead,
you can click the button Run to test it.
I intentionaly left some other commented code with some links to online resources which could be useful
for others.

'Do you have a problem with Outlook loading when you boot the computer but it's not in the Start up folder? It's not black magic or ghosts, it's caused another program accessing Outlook's data - this causes Outlook to load.
'If you have a PDA or similar device, don't put it on the cradle or connect it to the computer until you have Outlook open and are ready to sync. If it's not a PDA causing it, look over you list of programs that are loading at start up and see which one uses Outlook data - remove them from start up or disable Outlook integration features.
