Step 3: Configure the Get Items from Folder activity

In the "Get Items from Folder" activity, configure the following settings:

Folder: Select the Inbox folder.
Search Criteria: Set the "Search Criteria" to "Unread" to retrieve only unread emails.
Search Scope: Set the "Search Scope" to "Current Folder" to search only in the Inbox folder.

Step 4: Add a Loop activity

Step 5: Add an Read Email activity

Step 6: Configure the Read Email activity

In the "Read Email" activity, configure the following settings:

Email: Select the email from the previous step.
Read: Set the "Read" property to "True" to mark the email as read.

Step 7: Run the workflow

Run the workflow to execute the activities.

Here's the sample code:

<Activities>
  <GetItemsFromFolder x:TypeArguments="x:MailFolder" x:Name="GetUnreadEmails">
    <Folder>x:Inbox</Folder>
    <SearchCriteria>Unread</SearchCriteria>
    <SearchScope>CurrentFolder</SearchScope>
  </GetItemsFromFolder>
  <Loop x:TypeArguments="x:MailItem" x:Name="LoopUnreadEmails">
    <Items>
      <GetItemsFromFolder.Item />
    </Items>
    <Body>
      <ReadEmail x:TypeArguments="x:MailItem" x:Name="ReadEmail">
        <Email><LoopUnreadEmails.Item /></Email>
        <Read>true</Read>
      </ReadEmail>
    </Body>
  </Loop>
</Activities>

This code retrieves unread emails from the Inbox folder, loops through each email, and marks each email as read.

Note: Make sure to adjust the code according to your specific requirements and Outlook configuration.
