How to "apply rule" once an email is read

[David]

Does anyone know how to apply an email rule only AFTER an email has been read
in my inbox.

I know that you can manually run a rule set, but I would like for this to
happen automatically.

There's no rule for that. Maybe it's possible with some VBA code: If you
read the message in the reading pane, track the current selected item; if
it's Unread property changes you may start your action, which needs to be
written in VBA as well.

If you are wanting to move a message to another folder after it's been read,
then do it this way: (presuming Outlook 2007 as you failed to tell us your
version)
Set up a rule to move the message to the folder on receipt, and use the
Unread Mail search folder in the Favorites pane to read it.
