Outlook New Mail Desktop Notification (Apply for all folders)

Hi Guys

Are you an Outlook User!
Are you suffering that new mail desktop alert and sound applys only on new mails inside Inbox
and any new mails going into other folders they come like goasts :)

Here is the Solution:

1- In Outlook: create a new blank rule


- For Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007: Go to Tools -> Rules and Alerts.

- Click "New Rule" to start the Rules Wizard.


2. Customize the new rule

-Select  "Check messages when they arrive"

-Click Next.

-On the Conditions screen, ensure that NO conditions are selected.

-Click Next, and click yes that you understand it will apply to all messages.

-Check the Box beside "display a Desktop Alert", "" action.

-Click Finish to save the rule and close the wizard.

3. Position the rule

Move the new rule to the top of the rule list to ensure it happens before any other rules take action.


You should now get a desktop notification for any message that arrives, in Inbox or any other Folders.

Thanks.
