Use a form region instead of a legacy custom form.

I've used notes & notel icon, but when the state change from unread to read
state, the icon will not change.

When I try the custom form from designer, the icon change correctly.

Why?

I've tried also
HKLM\software\microsoft\office\outlook\FormRegions\IPM.Note.ABC\ABC REG_SZ
c:\ABC.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<FormRegion
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/outlook/12/formregion.xsd">
<icons>
<default>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Office\Office12\FORMS\1040\notes.ico</default>
<unread>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Office\Office12\FORMS\1040\notes.ico</unread>
<read>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Office\Office12\FORMS\1040\appts.ico</read> // used this icon to test if
change
</icons>
</FormRegion>

But nothing :-(

I'm confused. Are you saying that you have changed from a custom form to using a form region?

When I try the custom form from designer, the icon change correctly.

I don't know what you mean by "when I try."

I've an idea restart from zero the post, I try to explain better.

Start customizing from IPM.Note form. When I test custom form in outlook
designer (in italian version is "esegui modulo" in english I think is
something like "execute form"), the icon is the standard, close when unread
and open after reading it.

I publish the custom form, select it from personal module, send mail the
icon is closed on unread and closed after read the message.

PS: this weekend I search my school english book, and re-read it ;-)

What you are describing is the normal behavior of a published custom form. You can't change that. Your test does not involve a published form; it uses a one-off form, which has a different behavior.
