Shared mailbox

[Hopner]

Hej guys,

I really need your help here!

My problem is that i often forget to look in the shared mailbox folder, and i know a lot of my colleagues do the same. I am trying to come up with a solution to this through VBA. I have tried the built in rule settings for Outlook, but with no luck.

So what i need is:

A macro that alerts me when an mail has been categorized as my responsiblity.

I have created the following with what i have found on the internet, but it only works for my own mailbox. I can't figure out how to do it on a shared mailbox.

Private WithEvents Items As Outlook.Items
Private Sub Application_Startup()
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set objNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
' default local Inbox
Set Items = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items

End Sub


Private Sub Items_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim Msg As Outlook.MailItem
If TypeName(Item) = "MailItem" Then
Set Msg = Item
' ******************
MsgBox "Hej Mikkel"
' ******************
End If
ProgramExit:
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
Resume ProgramExit
End Sub

Hopefully one of you guys can help me! I am pretty new with VBA in general, but i can see the potential in learning it.

Instead of GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox), point to it like this.

Set Items = objNS.Folders("shared mailbox name as a string").Folders("Inbox").Items
