email notification

[Guest]

Hi all,

I have rules setup that whenever an incoming email matches certain criteria
it automatically gets moved to a folder below Inbox. This however does not
trigger a desktop email alert. It would be nice if it did.

TIA!

I think you can add a desktop alert to the rule since automatic ones don't
fire for anything but items in the Inbox

OL 2003 does this. If you have 2003 version, check your Alert settings.

I have OL 2003. Where would I go to do this? Under Tools-->Options Desktop
Alert is enabled. But it says default Inbox only. When I go to Tools-->Rules
& Alerts and try to create a new alert it asks me to select a Website source
such as Sharepoint etc.

Go to Tools>Rules and Alerts, select the rule that currently moves the
message, and click on Change rule>Edit rule settings. Click next, then find
and check "display a specific message in the new item alert window". Click
on the underlined "a specific message", and enter the message you want to
see.

Job done I believe.
