"hide when minimized" not working

[loren]

I'm using a Dell Dimension XPS M1530 laptop with Vista Home Premium 64 bit
and Office 2003 seems to work just fine but one of the features I liked with
Outlook 2003 was the little envelope that appeared in the system tray
whenever there was new mail.

That feature isn't working now and I'm wondering if it's an incompatibility
with Vista 64 bit, or there's something I need to fix.

When I right click on the Outlook icon in the tray, I do have show new mail
desktop alert checked, along with all the other options.

Any help would be appreciated

That feature has nothing to do with "hide when minimized" ;-)

Are these emails delivered to your main Inbox folder or are they being moved
by a rule to another folder?

ooops of course you're right...
But to answer your question, I don't have an outlook rule set up, but I do
have Gmail set up to import my Outlook inbox - Could that be the cause?
