    fire Outlook.Application_NewMail for alternate mailbox

    Okedokee, I have created a function that handles incoming e-mails in my Outlook Inbox. It fires on Outlook's Application_NewMail event. I monitor Inbox's for multiple mail accounts on the same machine (same Outlook instance), but as far as I can tell, the Application_NewMail event can only react to the default Inbox's new mail. Does anyone know a way to fire this or any other event when new mail arrives in an inbox other than the default inbox?

    Thanks,
    Darrin@CB69

    You would have to log on under the other mail account and
    download the new mail underr that account to invoke a new mail
    event for that logon. Then proceed to do the same for all user
    profiles, but only if you have the logon and password. There is
    not a background mail download for all accounts. However if you
    are running Exchange then you may be able to write some code
    on the server to accomplish something like what you want to do.
