Automatically Change Deleted Email To Read - Non Default Mailbox

[DavidHaley]

How do I take the script below and modify it so that it works with a non-default Outlook mailbox. Basically...I have 2 mailboxes (work & Hotmail) linked to my Outlook software on my laptop. My goal is to have email placed in the "Deleted Items" folder to automatically change to "Read". The below script works great for the default account (work) but...how do I get it to work with my Hotmail account?

______________________________________________________________
Dim WithEvents olkFld As Outlook.Items

Private Sub Application_Quit()
Set olkFld = Nothing
End Sub

Private Sub Application_Startup()
Set olkFld = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderDeletedItems).Items
End Sub

Private Sub olkFld_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
Item.UnRead = False
Item.Save
End Sub

Any help would be greatly appreciated and...thank you in advance for your time!

You can point to any mailbox by starting with "name of mailbox".

Set olkFld = Session.Folders("name of mailbox").Folders("Deleted Items").Items

Wow, thank you very much…it worked! I was able to swap your line of code out with the line of code in my original and it automatically marked email in the “Deleted Items” folder, in my Hotmail account as “read”. The only problem is…when I tried to input your version in the code along with the original version…it only marked the items in my default account as read…I guess once it marked the items in the default account it stopped. How can I incorporate your line into the original script? Below is what I tried but…it didn’t work.

Set olkFld = Session.Folders("name of mailbox").Folders("Deleted Items").Items <-- My Hotmail Account

Item.UnRead = False

olkFld cannot represent two sets of items.


Set olkFld = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderDeletedItems).Items
Set olkFld = Session.Folders("name of mailbox").Folders("Deleted Items").Items


You will need to duplicate the code.


Dim WithEvents olkFld As Outlook.Items
Dim WithEvents olkFld2 As Outlook.Items

Private Sub Application_Quit()
Set olkFld = Nothing
Set olkFld2 = Nothing
End Sub

Private Sub Application_Startup()
Set olkFld = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderDeletedItems).Items ' <-- My Work Account
Set olkFld2 = Session.Folders("name of mailbox").Folders("Deleted Items").Items ' <-- My Hotmail Account
End Sub

Private Sub olkFld_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
Item.UnRead = False
Item.Save
End Sub

Private Sub olkFld2_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
Item.UnRead = False
Item.Save
End Sub

Thank you VERY MUCH!!! That works perfectly!!! Really do appreciate it!
