I am trying to tie my outlook into the houses home automation system

I am ruining outlook 2007. The home automation system is running on ANOTHER
computer on our trusted network.

What I would like to do is POLL my computer for the number of NEW messages
in outlook.

If outlook was NOT running, I would poll the POP3 server, but it would
return the raw count, spam and all, which routinely run in the hundreds.

I leave outlook running so that it gathers my email from several servers,
de-spams it, and sorts it into several folders. I would like to just get
the TOTAL via a external qwery if possible.

Is there a way to do this without a lot of coding via a plug-in or com
object ?

You'll need to use VBA and write something that interacts with the
automation system.
