Hi BenN - you could definitely use blat to send the emails. I know that doesn't help if the sender isn't sending anything, but it can definitely give you notifications from the device if it is working.

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. Outlook Rules fire in response to mail being received, and are fairly limited in what they can do. It is possible, however, to run an external script on a schedule, and have that script talk to Outlook and see if the mail you want is there. That script can then do what you want it to. You'd need to run this on a computer with credentials that let it access your mailbox and Outlook, though. That probably means leaving your desktop logged in as you. I don't have such a thing read-made. I've got a script that grovels the public folder tree looking for keywords, though; that might be a starting point for you. Let me know if you're interested. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
