Hello

My organization uses Public folders to sent MS Word documents to all users. I would like to create a rule to indicate when a new document has been posted. The public folders are not part of my personal folders so I am assuming that the folders are setup on my mail server? Is there a macro I can write for this if there is not a rule I can use? Any help would be great. Thanks in advance

You could write VBA code to monitor the folder for new items ... but you can
achieve nearly the same thing by adding the folder to your Public
Folder\Favorites. The folder in Favorites will then track unread items for
you.

If you want to go the VBA route, these web pages should help you get
started:
