Folks:


I am using Microsoft Outlook Express 6 as my email client software.
I would like to get access to a script that would alarm.(play an audio file)
when email is received from a specific address.
maybe such a script already exists.


Thanks,
JoJo.

Far as I know, it's not possible. Would have to be a "Message Rule" and I
see no such rule that would play a sound.

You could make a new folder for such mail, set a Message Rule to move it
there, and use OETune to play a special sound when it gets there.

This is how I did it few days ago,having recorded the alert first .

Control Panel | Sounds and Audio Devices | Sounds. Find the New Mail Alert
and Browse to your saved alert sound.

This is a coming through the backdoor workaround, but if you download this
program, you can have it check for mail on all incoming folders /except/ the
one you want the special sound for.

This program has its own alert sound. For the unchecked /special/ folder,
the sound would be the one selected in Control Panel | Sounds and Audio
Devices | Sounds | New Mail Notification where you can have it play the
sound you want.

You would need a message rule to divert the e-mail from this one address to
its own user created folder and leave that folder unchecked when you set up
this tool.
