"sent" rule

[Helen]

Hi there,

I have created a "sent" rule. After a message has been sent it is moved to a
specific folder. That's all working just fine. The problem is that this
message is now considered unread mail, and also shows up in my unread
folder. How can I fix this?

Thanks,

Helen

1) Use VBA to automatically make them marked as read
2) Exclude the folder from your "Unread Mail" Search Folder
3) Use an addin to do the magic for you instead of a rule
