Notification for Multiple Email Accounts

[Andrew]

I work in a word processing center where email requests come in all day long.
We are moving to a centralized Outlook account that each individual will add
as a second mailbox. How can we get a notification for this second email
account? We can't have a duplicate sent to our primary account from the
second account due to space considerations -- we often get large attachments.


I must be able to write a macro that sends notifications to other accounts,
no? Thanks.

You could write code to handle the ItemAdd() event on the Inbox folder of
that secondary mailbox. For best results make sure your Outlook profile
opens that mailbox on startup. The ItemAdd() event handler code can then
send a message to whoever you want.

I have some sample code here you can adapt:

Basically it's what Ken described.
