2233.0. "Moving Unread from Local Mail to Server Inbox" by 34075::GIANNETTI_D () Wed Jun 04 1997 14:48

TeamLinks 2.7-2
Windows 95
ALL-IN-1 server 3.2

Customer has users who work offline at times and at other times 
are in the office with their laptop's connected via the docking
station.

They use the script that we provided that moves their Inbox items
from the server Inbox to the Local Mail Inbox.  This is working
perfectly.

They have encountered a problem.  At times the user is not
able to read all their items from the Local Mail Inbox, as a
result they still have quite a few Unread messages in the Local
Mail Inbox.  They wrote a script that takes the Unread from the
Local Mail and moves them to the Inbox on the server.  This piece
works fine.  What is happening though is the messages when moved
are being flagged "read" and no longer have an Unread status.

I tested this on my eft1 3.0 system here and experienced the same
results.

What can be done to insure that the messages when moved are kept
in an Unread state?

2233.1TAMARA::laceup.zko.dec.com::tamara::fitzellIt's not a bug it's functionally challenged !Wed Jun 04 1997 20:415
This seems to be specific to ALL-IN-1 and is not confined to Scripts, doing 
the same operation by Drag'n Drop yields the same behavior. I'll bring this 
up with JAL, current keeper of CFCIOS to see what if anything can be done.
