That is very interesting. i would love to see an example of this script. You guys crack me up. I do love work and reading emails; but i won't get into too much detail on why this would be extremely useful for me heh. I get a ton of emails as it is and reading them day after day does not mean i can point out what is usually there that should be given my current situation. Ideally; i would setup some way to sms text me if this daily email wasn't delivered to my inbox or one of it's folders if i had a rule for that. Actually. i have about half a dozen of these types of emails i would use this against.
Thanks again for these great ideas. -BenN On Mon, Jun 1, 2009 at 11:11 AM, Ben Scott <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Jun 1, 2009 at 12:55 PM, Ben Nordlander <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Does anyone know of a method to create some type of notification in > Outlook > > (probably using rules) that would allow for some extra notification if > one > > of these daily emails don't get sent to me? > > I don't believe this can be done in Outlook Rules.
