Mail As Notification of New Mail?

External Since: Sep 04, 2007 Posts: 7

We have two email systems that our employees use -- one is Exchange/Outlook
and the other is not. The other one (which shall remain nameless) can send
an email to Outlook to notify the user that a new email has arrived in that
system -- the user then toggles to that system and reads the email. Can
Exchange/Outlook send an email to a separate account to notify the recipient
that new mail has arrived?

You could forward the message to the other address, but without writing a
custom action, I don't think there's a way to send only a notification to
another account.
