There is no "setting" for this.

Outlook, by default, will only notify you of new messages that are delivered
to your Inbox. Because of your rule setup, these new messages are not going
to your Inbox and, therefore, you are not getting the notification. You MAY
be able to set up a rule to notify you of these messages but I'm not sure,
as I've never used rules.

6) Go down to the "When new Items arrive in my Inbox" section.

The OP's original post states that these messages are not going to the Inbox
because of rules that he's created to move them to different folders. That's
why he's not receiving any notification.
