Mark email as read with exchangelib

Question

I am using Pythons exchangelib package. How can I mark an e-mail as read with exchangelib?

I have had a look at the official GitHub exchangelib page for my query, but didn't find the answer.

To add to joe's comment, you must also 'save' the item for the flag to be permanent.

item.is_read = True
item.save()

To add to HeroicOlive's comment, if you specifically want to save the is_read value only, try:

item.is_read = True
item.save(update_fields=['is_read'])

item.is_read = True should do the trick where item is the message you want to mark read
