Desktop alerts for mailboxes on which I am a delegate

[Guest]

I am a delegate on a mailbox and I wish to create a rule so that emails
coming into this particular mailbox will generate a desktop alert. As far as
I can tell, Outlook help says this is possible:

"For microsoft exchange server . . . a desktop alert is displayed only when
a new item arrives in your default Inbox. If you want to display a desktop
alert when an item arrives in any other exchange folder, or when you receive
items that meet specific conditions, you must create a rule."

Following these instructions, I have created several different rules in an
effort to generate a desktop alert for this mailbox I am a delegate on but I
have not been successful. From what I can see, the problem lies in the fact
that Outlook only seems to recognize my default Inbox for whatever rule I
create. In other words, Outlook does not give the option (or I have missed
it) to create a rule and select folders or mailboxes other than one that is
designated as the default.

I hope this is clear and any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Outlook help is correct on this one; it works for other folders not for
other mailboxes.
