New Email Envelope Icon - Office Pro 2007

[Guest]

Hi,
In Outlook I have 2 accounts set up - Home and Work.

I have created a folder titled Work with all its various sub-folders.

I have created Rules and Alerts so that any email coming through the Work
account is moved to the Work folder.
If I receive mail through my Home account I get the envelope in the bottom
right corner, but if it comes through my work account and is moved to the
Work folder, it does not appear.
In Office 2003 I had the same setup and Rules and Alerts and the envelope
WOULD appear if it was a work email moved to the Work folder.

Any ideas?

Mail items moved by rules do not trigger the new mail notification envelope.

Hi Milly,

I am sure that it used to do so in Office 2003....???? When I migrated to
the Office 2007 I am quite certain that I found it odd straight away that I
had a new mail item in my Work folder, but no envelpoe had appeared.
Unfortunately I do not have an Office 2003 to test on....
