Outlook using rules not showing new message alert in system tray

 

I created a few rules for Microsoft Outlook 2010, that specific mails go to specific folders. This works fine, but I don't get an alert in system tray when I have new mails.

Is there a way to fix this?

According to the sources I've listed below, this seems to not be possible, and it seems to be expected behavior of MS Office since 2007.

    • I would love for someone to prove me wrong, because I would like to have an envelope as well. Wish MS would at least give an option to turn this setting on and off.

    It is possible with an additional rule.

  • Open the Rules and Alerts dialog;

  • Outlook 2003 an Outlook 2007: Tools-> Rules and Alerts… (press OK if you get an HTTP warning)
  • Outlook 2010: tab Home-> group Move-> button Rules-> Manage Rules & Alerts…
  • Outlook 2013: File/Home -> Manage Rules and Alerts

  • Button New Rule…

  • Select "Start from a blank rule" and verify that "Check messages when they arrive" is selected.
  • Press Next to go to the Conditions screen.
  • Verify that no condition is selected and press Next.
  • A warning will pop-up stating that this rule will apply to all messages. Press "Yes" to indicate that that is correct.
  • Select the action "display a Desktop Alert".
  • Press Finish to complete the rule.
  • If needed move the "display a Desktop Alert" rule all the way to the top.

    I just added the Outlook 2013 part, because this old question/problem is still relevant in the current version where I use this mechanism successfully.
