Paul,
The
Outlook plugin was written for two reasons.
1:
'Cos it did what I wanted :-)
2: As
a proof of concept.
I
need
to make it, not a VBA App in the Outlook context, but a standalone VB app
that
talks MAPI directly. (So I can support the port listener for "heart beat"
compliance.)
If
that happens, then it becomes a "mini app" that could (for a single user)
run on
the eMail _server_
I
don't know if MAPI allows concurrent connections from different apps to the
same
server as DIFFERENT user context. If it does, then multiple copies of the
app,
one for each user, could run on the server. (Paul G - do you know
this?)

I can see how it might be a flag within the Outlook plugin. As
such,
it's up to the Outlook plugin developer (oh - that's me)
sorry to keep poping out of the woodwork
to
suggest things for other people to do but I don't have to the necessary
skills
to write software (this was proven at uni when one project was to do code
to
control a ped X, if my code had been implemented the death toll would
have been horrendous, lol) but could the outlook pulgin be modified to work
directly from Exchange or other (preferably exchange tho as I have
that
:-) ) to notify presence of email in different users
accounts.
I guess the current model relies on user
computer being on 24/7 or at least on when house occupied to work, in my
case
if I have to go and switch a computer on so the wall can tell SWMBO
she
has mail I won't win many brownie points but if when SWMBO arrives home she
sees a message on the display as she disarm the alarm loads
a points.
Also in case of an urgent mail is there
anything in the protocol to allow the inclusion of say senders name or
subject
line in the message that appears, I don't know about you guys but I know
several people who think if they don't mark it urgent it'll take a week to
arrive!
Enough of my ramblings, so far this looks
really good
Regards
Paul
