New mail notification

[Dr Teeth]

I have become more adventurous in my email setup, as a consequence,
not much mail goes to my default inbox. I found the 'new mail'
notification very handy. I am disappointed that I cannot see a way to
set it so that it notifies me if any folder gets new mail.

Is there anyway to set this up? I don't mind modifying the registry
directly if necessary.

Cheers,

Guy

Can't do it natively, but you might find some third-party tools you like

You can set this up with a rule. Create your rule that it plays the
NOTIFY.WAV sound, and displays a desktop alert for the specific folder that
you want. I did this and it works great !

Thanks for the tip. However, not been too keen on sound notifications
(they make me jump), I found some freeware which does the job;
"Advanced Folders watch".

Dear Mr. Schorr:
here: http://www.slipstick.com/addins/notify.asp <<

Is that a design feature or a bug? In Outlook 2003, New Mail Notification,
both sounds and envelopes displayed in the Notification Area, works when
mail is sent to a folder other than the Inbox via a Message Rule.

Thank you.

Cheers,

Jeff V. Pulver

Have there been any updates in this area. Any other freeware or workarounds?
Ive just stalled Outlook 07 and need my envelope notification for my inbox
subfolders!

Thanks!

Freeware - http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/folders_watch/. Works a
treat.
