Can I create a task automatically from an incomming email
message using the rules wizard?
 
Is this code difficult code. I am not familar with writting VBA code so is it
possible to have the you write this code for me?
 
Here is a little sample that calls a function each time a new e-mail is
coming in (there may be expectings). The method "CreateTaskFromMail" is
almost still empty. What kind of data do you like to use for the task?

'<DieseOutlookSitzung>
Private WithEvents m_oItems As Outlook.Items

Private Sub Application_Startup()
Set m_oItems =
Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
End Sub

Private Sub m_oItems_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
If TypeOf Item Is Outlook.MailItem Then
CreateTaskFromMail Item
End If
End Sub

Public Sub CreateTaskFromMail(oMail As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim oTask As Outlook.TaskItem

Set oTask = Application.CreateItem(olTaskItem)
With oTask
.Subject = oMail.Subject
.Save
End With
End Sub
'</DieseOutlookSitzung>
 
This a call center and some problem are escalated because agents are not
available. I would like to take the subject line a of a particular message
from a specific mailbox (TM-099-PSST Escalations) and create the Task. I will
try to write this from the sample you sent. If you can think of anything else
please let me know.
