Outlook: make a rule that acts when number of (unread) mails in a folder exceeds a treshold
We're looking to perform a series of action every time the number of (unread) mails in a folder exceeds a certain limit.
Example:
- When the number of mails in a folder > 10000, mail the assistant to clean it up.
- When the number of unread mails in a folder > 10, mail the admin that the robot probably stopped working
- ...
In a perfect world this would be a serverside rule, not needing a client to be online to run.
We could use RPA to write this, but are checking if there are "lighter" alternatives, aside from clientside VBA.
