This possibility is ticked and operated after installing the Office 2007
yesterday. But today it does not operates, not even after restarting my
notebook. Could someone help me?

It only works for messages delivered to the default Inbox. For other folders
you'll need to set a rule.

Yes, I know but it does not works even for the default Inbox.

I set up a rule for the all. It works now.

1. Tools / Rules and Alerts
2. E-mail Rules -> New Rules -> Check messages when they arrive -> Click Next
3. through the specified account (here you have to click the underlined word
and choose an account) -> Click Next
4. display a Desktop Alert -> Click Next
5. you can give exceptions -> Click Next
6. give a name -> Click Turn on this rule -> Click Finish
