Notification for a fax posted to a public folder
We have setup our exchange to post incoming faxes to public folders. I've
setup different folder for each department. The question has come up is there a way to notify a user like when they get a new email that a fax has been posted to the public folder? |

Notification for a fax posted to a public folder
Since this group has very little traffic (I'm about it) and since this is
more of an exchange issue than a fax issue, I'd suggest posting in an Exchange group. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "M.Siler" wrote in message ...

Notification for a fax posted to a public folder
Client side: The user would either have to be running a COM addin and have
an ItemAdd handler for each public folder of interest to get a notification on the client side and it would only work if Outlook was running for each user at the time the fax was added to the folder. Server side: A folder event script or synchronous sink (Exchange 2000 or later only) would have to be running for each folder to get the added message in the folder (the fax) and notify the relevant user via email. In either case it requires coding and a decision by the Exchange admins whether to allow server side code to run. -- Ken Slovak [MVP - Outlook] http://www.slovaktech.com Author: Absolute Beginner's Guide to Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 Reminder Manager, Extended Reminders, Attachment Options http://www.slovaktech.com/products.htm "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

Wow, I would have thought that this would be something that thousands if not
10's of thousands of peopel would want to do and therefore Outlook would permit a notification via rule or something. Thanks for the info. "Ken Slovak - [MVP - Outlook]" wrote in message ...
