Outlook VBA: Listen for new emails and trigger popup Msgbox

Hi, I intend to trigger some code immediately upon receipt of a new email in Outlook.

I am following the code exactly word for word as written in this website:
https://www.tachytelic.net/2017/10/h...ed-in-outlook/

This should be the basis for me to edit and run more complex code segments

But even with this basic code demo, the new email event listener does not work.

I restarted Outlook a few times and sent the email to my Outlook inbox again and again

Any idea why this code isn't working?

Just following this, as I also have tried this.

I do hope there is someone that can help with this or guide to a place that can

Hi Cheesecube,

The code in the website you referenced worked for me in Outlook 2016 exactly as is with no modifications.

Try again:
a. Open Outlook VBA (Alt F11 or equivalent).
b. Expand 'Microsoft Outlook Objects' if necessary.
c. 'Left Click' ThisOutlookSession. 'ThisOutlookSession (Code)' will be displayed at the top.
d. Cut and paste the code from the website.
e. Close Outlook. Select 'Yes' when asked do you want to save the project.
f. Open Outlook.
g. Select the Inbox for the Primary Email Account in Outlook (not required - but useful for test purposes).
h. Have someone send you an eMail (or send yourself an email from another computer).
i. Wait for the next Email to arrive at the Inbox. A MsgBox will be displayed at the same time (which is generated by the code you added).

If this does not work, verify that the code exists in the ThisOutlookSession Code Module.

Good luck.
