Outlook does have some events in its automation interface (which you can handle from within Python by using win32com.client.DispatchWithEvents) but if an immediate response weren't critical it's probably slightly easier to schedule a job to interrogate the mailbox every so often and harvest any new emails. Depends on your particular need. TJG -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
