Hi all - apologies if this is the wrong place to post this but after an hour
of searching it seemed the only place I could find that might be
relevant...to say nothing of the fact that all my pc worries get solved here
thanks to the lovely people who post rep[lies :o)

Anyhoo.....I'm on a university network and have just had my pc upgraded to
include Office 2003, and frankly I'm bemused!!

In my old version of Outlook whenever new mail arrived I would get that
little envelope in the system tray. This happened regardless of whether the
mail was in the main inbox or in one of the many sub-folders I have (and need
- believe me theyre a necessity in my work!). However now it seems i can only
get notified when new mail appears in the inbox - all sub folders are
ignored!!

So - is there a way round this or have microsoft ruined a great feature?
Sorry for sounding a little miffed but having to check my email visually
every 3 minutes is a pain and i dont see any way round it. Surely most people
using Outlook at work will have emails organised - so why has this feature
been fiddled with?!!!

Anyone have a clue as to how to solve this? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaase!!

Cheers :o)
