    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
