Rule that moves email, no envelope in system tray

[Kristofer Gafvert]

Hi!

Since Outlook 2000 i have used rules to move messages to folders (based on
from whom it is and which account it was received thru). This has not
affected the envelope that shows in the system tray when new emails has
arrived.

But now when i moved to Outlook 2007, the envelope does not show up. If i
dont process the email thru any rule, it does show up, so it has to do with
the rules. Can someone tell me what i can do to get the envelope in system
tray and still be able to move emails to the correct folder when they
arrive?

Thanks!

You can't - it is by design in Outlook 2007. You can, however, create a rule to display a new mail notification window for all incoming mail.
