water Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Please have a look at my OutlookEX UDF (please see my signature). You could use function _OL_ItemFind to check for unread mails, then use Outlook method "Display" (there is no function available yet) and delete the mail using function _OL_ItemDelete. Another approach can be found in the example scripts thread. The example there waits fo a new mail to arrive and then processes this mail. If you need any assistance just psot your question.
