You can start with this Q that I answered earlier today.  It will find the unread messages in the specified mailbox and folder.

OM Gang they both worked find but i  am getting the annoying "another program" etc. screen but that's another question
Unfortunately that is something you are not going to be able to avoid.  It's possible to send e-mail and avoid the Outlook Security message (by using CDO or Outlook Redemption or other tools) but what you are doing is directly accessing Outlook mail folders.  The Outlook security prompt is designed to alert you when another program attempts to access these folders.  I've used third party tools like MapiLab's Outlook Security and have heard good thinkgs about a program named Click Yes, both of which clear the message for you so it does not require user intervention.  Perhaps something you can investigate.
