Exchange /Outlook: how to notify mailbox X about new mail in mailbox Y?
We have Exchange 2007 with Outlook clients. We have Outlook clients in production cells, where all cell members have access to the computer, logged on with cell-assigned username. Cell leaders also have their own mailboxes, where they may receive confidential emails from HR, management etc. - but the problem is that cell leader is not constantly logged on, he will go to separate room to work with his email.
Is there a way to send notification to the cell workstation whenever cell leader's mailbox has received new email?

If the cell leader is always using mailbox x no matter what , why don't you add mailbox Y to his outlook so that he/she will see when mail comes in.

Hi Vadim,
With Exchange 2013 you could use transport rules like incident reports to handle this, however; exchange 2007 doesn't have this level of functionality.
There are also no default rules in Outlook to achieve this.
I would suggest your best bet in this case would be to have an outlook rule on the managers outlook that runs a custom script. This would send an email to notify of an email arrival.
Here's a link on how to use VBA scripts with outlook rules:

And here is a page with some example scripts to start you off.http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/rules/send-a-new-message-when-a-message-arrives/

Example:
Sub SendNew(Item As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim objMsg As MailItem
Set objMsg = Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
objMsg.Subject = "Email for Cell Manager has arrived"
objMsg.Recipients.Add "CellEmail@domain.com"
objMsg.Send
End Sub
