Modify new mail alert/rule

[raminder.sunner]

Hi everyone,

I have a rule that runs a script (macro shown below) to notfiy users
about a new mail arriving in the inbox.

Sub CustomMailMessageRule(Item As Outlook.MailItem)
MsgBox "Mail message arrived: " & Item.Subject
End Sub

I have noticed though, that if a user is away from their desk and say,
10 emails arrive the user has to click OK this many times to clear the
MsgBox. Can I specify a line of code that will clear all after one
click? If so, an example would be great!

Thanks in Advance,

RemySS

Why would you do that when Outlook contains that feature natively?

Hi,

Because the Envelope in the task bar and the Desktop Alert are not
sufficient - they do not "make" the user check. Outlook 2000 had the
feature that I am trying to implement into 2003. The Desktop Alert will
stay for a max. of 30 seconds.

thanks

You can get it to stay longer, if you want, up to about 50 days.
