Want rule-based mail notification tray icon

[John]

Hello All,

Having come from a Unix shop, I desparately miss the ability (as
provided by xBiff) to see an indicator (other than the standard
envelope icon) of who recently received email is from. Why does it
seem SO DIFFICULT to find a way to designate to outlook that I want a
specific icon displayed in the taskbar when I, say, receive email from
my mom, etc?

I have searched and only found references to share/free ware. I am
weary of installing these. I have seen mention of wbiff but don't
know if that will do the trick.

I would greatly appreciate any and all advice.

Thank you,
John

create a rule to display a specific message in the new alert window.... it
won't tray, but a message pops up telling you who it was from and shows the
subject.
