Thanks to everyone who helped. I was kinda thinking the same thing, but wanted to make sure.
Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alex Alborzfard Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 3:20 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: read flags in database Confirmed thru OutlookSpy. The CDO property "Unread" is a Boolean type and changes from false to read and keeps getting overwritten as Chris stated. This corresponds to toggling between "Mark as Read" and "Mark as Unread" options if you righ-click on the message. There is also a "TimeLastModified" property, which is a Date type, but doesn't change, no matter how many times you change Read to Unread, vice versa. Interesting...so I guess this all means there is no way you can prove if or when a message was read!

It's my understanding that modification of the property updates the last modified property of the message object itself (which can then be successively overwritten by additional modification). Don't have the bandwidth to research, but OutlookSpy could probably confirm (or refute) my understanding. http://www.dimastr.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:bounce- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley [MVP] > Posted At: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 1:03 PM Posted To: swynk > Conversation: read flags in database > Subject: RE: read flags in database > > That's an interesting question.
