Those ideas are nice but they don't buy you anything, nor does a COM addin.
There's nothing you can do there that you can't do in VBA, other than use a
different timer object. My guess is that you will end up having to do what I
suggested.

Thank you Ken. Looks like I'll need to do some research and amalgamation
of
techniques etc., the guideposts you suggested help .

Should there not be a way in which I could derive and enhance existing
forms
and values and dialogs to add what I want?, ie: I wonder if I can
wrap/derive
extend existing classes in Outlook Rules Wizard (Start from Blank rule)
(and
add) a timer event so rule wizard lists "Check item in this folder Daily"
,
and Conditions for testing in Macro's Ie add a condition "If item is
unread"
and condition "If Item is older than n days" . I guess the timer even
routine
would need to examine the rules tree, etc...

Perhaps I should investigate a C# Plugin and add Timer etc.. And new
dialogs etc. It would just seem better to use existing UI and just add the
extensions to the existing UI and classes and selection string values
etc...
I'll look at Outlook 2007 Rule Object model and probably only Outlook 2007
and later .
