Does the public folder use a custom post form? If so, put code in the form's Item_Write event handler. Otherwise, you must choose whether to leave a machine running 24/7 to run Outlook code or develop an Exchange event sink.

I don't know where to start... I have a a public folder that contains
IPM.Post items. I need to send an email whenever something gets posted
to that folder. What event am I looking for, and where do I put the
code? I don't need details, just a starting point.
