The property you would check would be item.Importance. If the value of that

property is OlImportance.olImportanceHigh it is high importance.

You can handle the ItemAdd() event on the Items collection of the Inbox, or

you can use Application.NewMail() or Application.NewMailEx(). Any of the

normal Exchange events such as ItemAdd() won't fire if more than 15 items

arrive at once, or if your code takes too long to handle a preceding

ItemAdd() event. That's an Exchange limitation. NewMail() only fires at

intervals and can miss items, so your best bet is to use NewMailEx() which

provides a delimited list of EntryID's of items that arrived since the

previous NewMailEx() event fired.

Thanks Ken for reply. I have declared below sub routine but it is not

working. Could you please tell me correct prototype.

Private Sub Application_NewMailEx(ByVal Item As Object)

MsgBox "here it is"

End Sub

Thanks,

It's shown in the Object Browser, along with the signatures of every other

Outlook method, property and event. You really need to know how to use the

Object Browser for any type of programming.

For NewMailEx the signature is NewMailEx(EntryIDCollection As String).
