How to set an email to 'Seen' in Outlook with WIN32 python?

I have a code, which sends a new email to the chosen recipients. The email is created based on a received email, which is in the inbox.
For the email sending I use the Win32 python library.
However, since a brand new email is being created, the email from which the new email is created left 'unseen' in the inbox.
How can I set the original email to 'seen' with code?
The code is something like this:
if inbox.Items[i].UnRead == True:
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = mail_list
mail.Subject = sub
mail.HTMLbody = new_body
mail.Send()
print('The email was sent successfully!')
Thank you in advance.

the email from which the new email is created left 'unseen' in the inbox.
You just need to set the MailItem.UnRead property to false on that item. The property returns or sets a boolean value that is true if the Outlook item has not been opened (read).

Try inbox.Items[i].UnRead = False after mail.Send()
Example
import win32com.client
def send_new_email(inbox):
for item in inbox.items:
if item.UnRead:
print(item.Subject)
new_email = outlook.CreateItem(0)
new_email.Display()
item.UnRead = False
if __name__ == "__main__":
outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("outlook.Application")
olNs = outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
inbox = olNs.GetDefaultFolder(6)
send_new_email(inbox)

Is it possible to require Delivery Receipt and Read Receipt when sending an email? What would be the good way?

Sure, use ReadReceiptRequested & OriginatorDeliveryReportRequested property MSDN
Example
import win32com.client as win32
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = "0m3r#Email.com"
mail.Subject = 'Message subject'
mail.Body = 'Message body'
# request read receipt
mail.ReadReceiptRequested = True
# request delivery receipt
mail.OriginatorDeliveryReportRequested = True
mail.Send()

win32 Outlook send Mail with sendkeys

I currently have a working script that finished with sending an E-Mail. However it is always necessary to manually confirm the sending by clicking on the allow button in the confirmation window.
My goal is to press the allow button automatically.
My current script:
def send_notification():
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = 'xxx#xx.com'
mail.Subject = 'xxx'
mail.HTMLBody = body_all
mail.send
Any idea how I can confirm the window in the code?
I also tried to use mail.Display instead of mail.send, but both will stop the code waiting to confirm the window before perfoming code that eventually would follow (like sendkeys or similar).
Many thanks in advance,
Best regards
Richard

I found the solution.
def send_notification():
outlook = win32.Dispatch('outlook.application')
shell = win32.Dispatch("WScript.Shell")
mail = outlook.CreateItem(0)
mail.To = 'xx#xx.com'
mail.Subject = 'xx'
mail.HTMLBody = body_all
mail.Display()
shell.AppActivate("Outlook")
sleep(1)
shell.SendKeys("%s", 0)
