Hi. I was wondering if it is possible to do 2 things via VBA in MS Outlook (I use Outlook 2019). For certain emails (for now I have rules to put emails to specific folders) I'd like to remove the envelope icon which pops in system tray and in the TaskBar on the Outlook icon/window. To make it clear, even though emails are moved to folders I still get envelopes for each of them. To mark emails read when they come within some specified time frame only, i.e. between 8 am and 8 pm. I would be grateful for hints if possible.
