I recently replaced a number of rules for routing incoming mails to
different folders by a single 'run script' rule, and wrote a more refined
version of the filters in VBA (in O2007).

Now, every morning when I start up outlook, the script is skipped for the
first handful of mails that are already waiting at the mail server (mails
are downloaded to personal folders, the script routes them to different
folders there).

When I start the script manually (tools / rules / run rules now), it moves
the mails to the right folders, and from then on everything works as
expected -- until the next day when I launch Outlook.


So what I think this means is that there's some kind of delay after Outlook
is started, before VBA begins to work. The rule is still executed for
later mails, also if I don't start it manually, but the first handful
always remain in my inbox.


Does anyone know more about this, and maybe a solution or a workaround?
Some way to delay collecting mail for 10-15 seconds after Outlook is
started should do the trick, I think.
