However, there are other methods of getting notified of newly received messages while you were out, even if they were not being delivered to your Inbox. Is there a way to get these alerts regardless of which folder a message has been received in? The envelope icon indeed only shows in the Notification Area or on the Outlook icon in the Task Bar when the message is being received in the Inbox folder and not when it is moved to a subfolder by for instance a rule. Having that information would really help me, especially when I’m away from my desk for a while. However, it doesn’t reveal how many new emails I have received nor does it show when I receive a message in a folder other than the Inbox. Whenever I receive a new email message in my Inbox, I can see the envelope icon in my Notification Area.
