New mail notification

[BAL007]

In Outlook 2007, I have created 2 mail accounts; the first one (a POP mail
account: (e-mail address removed)) has the default name “Personal foldersâ€, the
second one (an Internet mail account: (e-mail address removed)) has the name of the
e-mail address. They both have the same sub-folders; I send and receive mail
normally from both accounts.

However, when I receive a new mail, I receive a "new mail" notification from
my first account, like an envelope icon in my tray and a sound to tell me
that I have new mail. But, I don’t have a notification when I receive a new
mail in my second account.

Is there a reason why Outlook processes a "new mail" notification
differently between a POP account and an Internet account? Thanks.

Live account folders, unless they are the delivery location folders, do not
have all the features that your default account does. New mail notification
is one of them that is missing.
