outlook_mark_email_read

Windows

Purpose

Use this when the user wants emails in the classic Outlook app on this PC marked as read, or as unread with unread=true: to note what was already handled, or to come back to a message later. Name the messages with message_id (one) or message_ids (up to 20), the EntryIDs from outlook_list_emails, outlook_search_emails or outlook_read_email. A message counts as marked only when Outlook reads the new state back. Nothing is sent, moved or deleted, so it asks for no confirmation. For a Microsoft 365 account connected to LMCP, use m365_mark_email_read.

Required inputs

No required inputs are declared in this platform's schema. Optional selectors and runtime requirements may still apply.

Permissions and confirmation

No explicit confirmation parameter is exposed in this snapshot. This does not grant permission to act: obtain user authorization before any real action.

• Use only the apps, accounts and resources authorized by the user on this platform. Consult this tool's platform-specific description for its connection and permission requirements; this catalog does not assert additional OAuth scopes or OS entitlements.
