I'm looking for a way to have a simple timer keep track of when the last new email to a specific folder was received.



I have a Matlab program running for a number of different projects, which when working properly send emails to me on a fairly regular schedule, which then get routed to a specific folder. If this Matlab program has issues, it can at worst result in no new emails coming in. Instead of watching throughout the day, it would be more helpful to just have it give me an alert if it's been more than X minutes since the last new email.

Is something like that possible within Outlook? Haven't found anything searching around online, but maybe users here have some ideas?

Thanks
