Outlook VBA: Listen for new emails and trigger popup Msgbox

Hi, I intend to trigger some code immediately upon receipt of a new email in Outlook.

I am following the code exactly word for word as written in this website:
https://www.tachytelic.net/2017/10/h...ed-in-outlook/

This should be the basis for me to edit and run more complex code segments

But even with this basic code demo, the new email event listener does not work.

I restarted Outlook a few times and sent the email to my Outlook inbox again and again

Any idea why this code isn't working? Thanks

I can't see any obvious reason why it wouldn't work - though if it's a security issue, see

You could use instead a rule that runs on all incoming messages, with a script

Code:

---

Sub MailHasArrived(Item As Outlook.MailItem)
    If TypeName(Item) = "MailItem" Then
        'do stuff with Item
        MsgBox Item.Subject
    End If
lbl_Exit:
    Exit Sub
End Sub

---

If the script option isn't available see https://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ru...-script-rules/
