Is there any way that I can mark emails "as read" automatically. I have some folders that are receiving automatic reports. I don't need to read them, I just need to have them if needed in emails. So emails will be read as soon as they are in or it could be a specific delay, e.g 5 mins. Is this possible in Outlook 2016? So I don't need to click on them. This should apply for specific folders not for entire mail box.
Thanks xD.
I'm assuming you have a mail rule that moves the messages you are referring to in to a separate folder automatically when they arrive.
Add to that rule the action called: mark it as read
If you don't already have a rule, then you can create one to identify the mail in question and mark it as read among other things.
@Appleoddity, what about the scenarios when the mail rules are server-side and it is just needed a folder rule to mark the messages as read, in that certain folder? Mark as read is a client-side rule so cannot be applied server-side
