Is it possible to have a message sent to another OUTLOOK user popup when it enters the user's INBOX? Something like a replacement for NET SEND.
 
Sounds like you want the e-mail to immediately get the user's attention. When I need to do this I create a flag for the e-mail and set the flag time for something like 2 minutes in the future.

For example - If the time is 2:00PM, send a message flagged as "Read by 12/11/03 2:02PM", and if the user doesn't read the message by 2:02PM they will get an Outlook popup. This will grab their attention. If they don't have Outlook open at that time it will popup first thing the next time Outlook is opened.
