I'm using MS Office Outllok 2003 (11.6359.6408) SP1

Whenever I receive an email that go into my INBOX, a desktop email alert
will pop-up. Fine, this is OK

I was wondering why email that go to other folder (not INBOX, which I use
Rules to redirect the email to that particular folder), do not have desktop
email alert ?

E.g I created a outlook folder called Stephanie. Any email from my friend
stephanie will go into this folder (using rules), but it will not give me
email alert when stephanie sends me an email. How can I fix that, so that
any incoming emails will give me Desktop email alert, regardless whether it
goes to INBOX, or Stephanie folder, or other assigned folder ?

Please advise.

Magix

it only works on mail that stays in the inbox - but you can easily add a
desktop alert to the Stephanie rule. look in the rules wizard for the
option - I think it's near the end of the actions list.

It's the last option in the second window of the rules wizard ;-)
