In Outlook VBA, one might code

• Private WithEvents olInboxItems As Items
• Set olInboxItems = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Items
• Private Sub olInboxItems_ItemAdd(byVal Item as Object)

and expect the ItemAdd routine to get called. Sometimes it will.

In an Exchange environment, if you also have a

• Private Sub Application_NewMailEx(ByVal EntryIDs As String)

then ItemAdd will not get called. You can have EITHER an Application_NewMailEx OR an ItemAdd.
