Depending on when you click the toolbar button:
1. The open item is: Application.Session.Activeinspector.CurrentItem
2. One selected item in the folder view is:
Application.Session.ActiveExplorer.Selection(1)
If it's an e-mail (MailItem object), it has a Unread property, which you can
set to True or False, and it has some Flag* properties. The FlagIcon
property determines the color.
In Outlook you can't assign those hotkeys. But you could create some more
toolbar buttons to assign categories. Simply write the name of a category
into the item's Categories property. If there's more than one category, join
them with a semicolon as delimiter.
If you're done, call the item's Save method.
