Help with conditional forward...

[Reedar]

Hi Guys,

New member here so apologies if this isn't the right place...

I've been tasked with finding a method whereby emails are fowarded to a
designated email account if they remain unopened after a set period of
time.

We're running Outlook 2007.

Is this anything that you guys can help with or point me in the right
direction for??

Many thanks in advance...

Rules won't work since they only act on messages after they download, not after a set period of time.

You would need to write some code to do what you want and then run it manually on the target machine. Try posting to microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or look through some of the samples at http://www.outlookcode.com to see if someone has already tried this and posted the code.

I use Auto-Mate to act on messages after they have been downloaded.
see http://www.slipstick.com/addins/auto.asp for links to it and other
utilities that can do it.
