The specific thing Outlook does is probably to mark the message as read. On my nnimap setup, I set nnimap-split-predicate to "UNDELETED"; its default value is "UNSEEN UNDELETED", so if Outlook reads the message then Gnus' IMAP mail splitting won't touch it. Similarly, with an IMAP mail-source, you can set :predicate "UNDELETED". See e.g. info://gnus/Mail+Source+Specifiers under `imap'. > I am unsure whether reverting (through Outlook) the read state of such > mails will make it reappear in front of gnus.

In that case you should be able to mark the articles as unread (in Gnus, 'M SPC' from the summary buffer, perhaps 'M P b M-& M SPC' to unread everything) and Gnus will happily split them for you. --dzm
