You cannot do that using email-watch jobs. First of all email watch jobs scan only unread emails. Every checked email is automatically marked as read so that that it is not checked again and again. Secondary email jobs can work with the Inbox folder only. Here are a few alternatives for doing what you are currently doing: 1. "Do it yourself" job - in other words, create a VBScript job using Outlook COM model. Run this job periodically and let it use Outlook COM automation to access desired folders and process messages the way you want it. I am sure you can find many examples readily available on the Internet and on MS knowledge base site. The job script could be quite complicated. 2. Instead of using a separate folder, use separate mailbox. Make a rule to automatically forward email to that mailbox rather then move it to a separate folder (or in addition to moving also forward). Configure 24x7 to monitor the other mailbox. This should be pretty simple. 3. Use 24x7 Event Server and configure it to access your mailbox using POP3 protocol. Check with your email admin if this option is available. 24x7 Event Server does not change message "read" status, it rescans the entire mailbox to find new messages. 24x7 Event Server was released a week ago. If you have a site license it is free for your, otherwise you can purchase it with a 50% discount. : I have emails filtered and are received in a specific folder by "Inbox : Rules". I want to read this folder only for email watch job. : Otherwise all emails are tagged as "Read" by email watch job, : which I dont want. Please help.
