Hi all

I have created some folders in outlook and have set a rule that each time I receive an email from that person, it goes in to a particular folder.

Now when I receive a normal email from the inbox, I get the message symbol in the bottom hand corner showing me I have received an email but I don't get it when my mail is from that folder or if you like the folder it has been sent to. Is there anyway, I can have that message symbol regardless when any email has been received and not just inbox?

This would help me loads as I sometimes forget to check the emails and then realise after when looking at emails that I have an email, I don't want to be manually putting in an email to the corresponding folder and would love a solution based around this



Many thanks

You can choose to display a desktop alert in the rule.

How would i do that

You should find "display a Desktop Alert" is an available action in the Rules Wizard. Go to the end of the list.
