Check for new email and send an alarm if the email did not arrive
 

Hi All,

Is there away is outlook (or by using a third party software) to check
for new emails every 5 minutes and send an alram or email to someone if
an email did not arrive in the right time.

Thank you for your help.

Check for new email and send an alarm if the email did not arrive
 

Without custom code, I don't think it's possible to trigger something on the
absence of something as opposed to the presence of something.

not sure if this would work:

- set your email to send receive at least every 5 minutes (tools / options /
mail setup...)
- create a rule to check for the words "undeliverable -you may need to check
the actual text that you get in the return email that is alerting you)
(tools / rules and alerts / new rule / blank rule...)
- send your email with a "delivery receipt" attached (new email / view /
options...)
- (make sure that your sound is turned ON...)

like I said... haven't tried it, (and I have no idea what you mean by "in
the right time -"right" in code is an ambiguous term, and as fickle as
computers can be, they do need to deal in absolutes...)
