Dear Experts,

Could anyone please help...?
I need to solve this issue urgently.

<Background>

I have 10 guys reporting to me.
Every Monday by noon, they must send email to me.

Problem is that some of them do not send it on time.
I want to send automatic reminder email if he did not make it on time.

<Environment>
Outlook 2010
Exchange Server

<Possible solution>
1. Create a folder for each employee
2. Using Rule, email is automatically stored in the corresponding folder
3. Write a code which will create new email item if the folder.item =0

<Problem with this solution>
-Too many folders
-Code may become long

*************************

My question is, how would VBA experts would approach this problem?

Any suggestion/opinion will be greatly appreciated.

Create a recurring task, with a reminder.

Code from here http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/showthread.php?50135-Macro-Alert-for-unreceived-email goes in Application_Reminder.
