If you're comfortable with VBA scripting, you can create a script to auto-read emails in Outlook. Here's an example script:
Sub AutoReadEmails()
Dim olApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim olNamespace As Outlook.Namespace
Dim olFolder As MAPIFolder
Dim olItems As Items
Dim olItem As Object
Set olNamespace = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olFolder = olNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
Set olItems = olFolder.Items
For Each olItem In olItems
If olItem.Class = olMail Then
olItem.Unread = False
End If
Next olItem
Set olItem = Nothing
Set olItems = Nothing
Set olFolder = Nothing
Set olNamespace = Nothing
Set olApp = Nothing
End Sub
To run this script, follow these steps:
- Open the Visual Basic Editor in Outlook by pressing Alt + F11 or by navigating to the "Developer" tab in the ribbon and clicking on "Visual Basic".
- Create a new module by clicking on "Insert" > "Module" or by pressing Alt + F11.
- Paste the script into the module and save it.
- To run the script, click on the "Run" button or press F5.
Remember to adjust the script to suit your specific needs and to test it thoroughly before using it in production.
