#### set current date and correct format  

$date = (get-date).tostring('g') 

 

### set mailbox identity 

$mailbox = "yourmailbox" 

 

#### e-mail variables 

$smtpserver = "smtp.yourcompany.com" 

$recipient = "it.user@yourcompany.com" 

$sender = "it.admin@yourcompany.com" 

$subject = "the process has fallen over" 

$body = "there is an e-mail older than 10 minutes yourmailbox inbox." 

 

#### query inbox of mailbox to retrieve date of oldest item 

$oird = get-mailboxfolderstatistics -identity $mailbox -folderscope inbox -includeoldestandnewestitems | where-object {$_.folderpath  -eq "/inbox"} | select-object -property oldestitemreceiveddate 

 

#### create variable with above value in same format as the $date variable 

$oirdinfo = $oird.oldestitemreceiveddate 

 

#### compare the time of the oldest mail in the inbox to current time. 

#### a mail is sent if more than 10 minutes has elapsed. 

$compare = new-timespan -start $oirdinfo -end $date 

if ($compare.minutes -gt 10) {send-mailmessage -from "$sender" -to "$recipient" -subject "$subject" -body "$body" -smtpserver "$smtpserver"} 

something this:
