Email automation imap unread

I use the “IMAP” for receiving email.
I want to set read mark for special email.
for example title contained some word.
I set option “MarkAsRead”. But all email set READ.
So I unset option “MarkAsRead”.
and then I search some email.

the problem is how to set the state READ using imap

i searched in internet

function is possible.
but how to use in UiPATH
