Could anyone let me know if the following is possible

At work, we have an email in-box which which is basically our work for the
day.
Is it possile for Outlook to distribute the emails in order to an
distribution group

For example, I may have 10 processors that day, User 1, User 2, etc
Currently, a controller forwards the emails in order, so the first email
thgat comes in goes to user1, the second to user 2...the tenth to user 10,
then the 11th to user 1, and so on
Is it possible for Outlook to do this in an automated way

Thanks

Jason
 
Yes, this is possible. The code would have to rely on a view that has the
sort order defined the way you want. Then you can select the messages you
want to forward and loop through the ActiveExplorer.Selection object (which
is just like the Items collection) to grab individual MailItem objects and
call MailItem.Forward to set that to a new MailItem - then call .Send on that
object.
