At times, you may need to batch mark multiple emails as read. For instance, you have an old PST file, which contains a plenty of old emails. Then, you import the emails into your own Outlook PST file. However, after importing, these emails are shown as “Unread” by default. At this time, you’ll want to batch mark these mails, older than a specific date, as read. Here we will look at this requirement to share 2 handy and efficient approaches.

Method 2: Batch Mark Emails Older Than Specific Date as Read with VBA
