I have set up a rule through Rules wizard (Outlook 2003)
that moves incoming mail from specific users to another
folder. I would also like to be able to mark this mail as
read when it gets moved.
Any help with the code to accomplish this would be greatly
appreciated.

Do you want to replace your rule completely and use a macro instead? If so,
you can use the UnRead property of the MailItem object (set it to False).

Otherwise, there is already a rule action to mark items as read.

I have not been able to find a rule action that will mark the incoming
email as Read and not notify me that new mail has arrived. Is it a
custom rule?
I will replace the rule completely if that is the best way to go but
would appreciate some help with the code.
Newbie here.
Thanks
