Macro executing on receipt of new mail message

[Paul Reilly]

Hi,
I have created a macro which I want to run when a new mail
message arrives. I am using outlook 2000 and can't get
this to work. Has anyone got a solution?

Thanks, Paul

Your best bet is an event handler for the ItemAdd event for the Items
collection of the Inbox. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/zaphtml.htm#cw for an example of an
ItemAdd handler you can use as a model of how to trap items being added to
the Inbox.

Ken,
Could I use a newMail event and what's the difference
between this and a ItemAdd event?

Thanks, Paul

NewMail only fires at intervals and doesn't give you the item(s) that came
in. ItemAdd fires for every item that comes in (unless too many come in at
one time or you take too much time in the ItemAdd handler) and gives you the
item that came in.

Great but not working for me

Ken,

I hope that you're still out there. This post is exactly what I've been looking for to create my own mail filter rules. I have implemented it as described by the post that you referred to but it doesn't seem to do anything. I tried adding a msgbox to the application startup section for debugging but it doesn't seem to do run either. When I tried clicking on the run macro button I get the following messsage "The macros in this project are disabled" - mind you I'm not sure you can run it that way. I'm running Outlook 2000, thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

Perry.
