Events in MS Outlook

How can an external program check, if MS Outlook has received mail?

thx, vbzero

The sample code must be placed in a class module, and the Initialize_handler routine must be called before the event procedure can be called by Microsoft Outlook.

VB Code:

Dim WithEvents myOlApp As Outlook.Application
 
Sub Initialize_handler()
    Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
End Sub
 
Private Sub myOlApp_NewMail()
    MsgBox "New mail has arrived, you lucky thing"
End Sub
