How can reading be canceled reading?

Question

I programmatically “read” emails using WebDav. I also delete these letters when I have finished my journey with them, however this causes an interesting problem. Each time I delete an email, the original sender receives an unread response. I logged into Outlook Web App and checked the option "Do not automatically send a response, but this does not seem to help."

Is there a way to remove a receipt request from an email before deleting it?

Answer 1

We decided that we did not want to make any changes to our server, and the solution that could be implemented in my existing program would be the most ideal.

I read on several sites if the message was marked as read through IMAP commands on the exchange server, which was not sent when receiving / opening through the client application (Outlook Web App or Outlook). Here's what we did:

I went to the email server via IMAP

. LOGIN [e-mail] password 

Selected folder for processing

 . SELECT Inbox 

Made changes to all letters in the folder

 . STORE 1:* flags \SEEN 

This sequence marks all emails in the inbox as read, which allows my program to delete emails after processing without generating a receipt.
