customizing Entourage reminders for specific accounts

I have access to multiple peoples' inboxes because I need to check them occasionally for certain messages. However, I have no interest in getting new mail notifications (the popups in the lower right corner of my screen) for these mailboxes; I only want notifications for my own inbox. Is there a way to make this happen?

Thanks!

Eliminate the preference to notify you of new mail and instead create a
Rule that just acts on your primary account.

Hi, I am a little intimidated by all of the options when creating a rule. What would the rule look like to display a notification when a message arrives in my inbox? Thanks.

If you use categories instead of individual addresses, you it's easier to
manage.

Under the Action section, select to Display dialog or Display Notification.
You can also use Growl notifications.

In the Exchange tab, you want:

If
Account
is
(your Exchange account)

Then
Display notification
Show Subject and Preview

Alternately instead of doing "Account," you could do "Folder" and then
your Inbox.
