It send a email with the subject line "SMS with John Smith" to back up any inward or outward SMS . This goes to my Gmail account, and the phone application tags it in Gmail with a label of 'SMS' . So far so good . I have a filter set up in Gmail, via the Gmail webpage . The filter settings are: Subject : SMS with Actions: Skip the inbox (Archive it) and Mark As Read When I preview the filter, it works fine . . . it locates any emails with 'SMS with' in the subject line regardless of the wards afterwards . And when I 'update filter and also apply filter to conversations below" (from settings) - it works fine . The messages labelled SMS now are read . However, the setting does not seem to work on an ongoing basis . New messages still show as unread . I've tried changing the option not to skip inbox, but the behaviour is still the same . My email client is Outlook and my Gmail is configured as IMAP . So I thought instead, I could filter them in Outlook on my PC, marking them read that way . But, that doesn't seem to work either . Does anyone have some suggestions on what I can try to get this working? Specifically, the situation above . . but also generally, working with labels in Gmail within outlook . There is quite a bit of info on the net already about gmail labels and how they affect Outlook, but nothing that helps my situation above . Thanks!	Chikara (5139)
