Outlook has a lot of events you can act upon. This example script shows how to do this.

Doesn't seem to work for me. Windows XP SP3 - Outlook 2003 (all known updates)

Unfortunately AutoIt Event handling doesn't work with Outlook 2003. You need at least Outlook 2007. Edited April 24, 2011 by water
