No Notification Envelope For New E-Mails

J

John Prince

I'm using the Beta 2 version of Outlook 2007. I'm running under XP
Professional and using Outlook Connector to receive my e-mails (my account is
with MSN.com). I am unable to receive an audio or envelope "heads up"
notifying me that I have received a new e-mail.

I have done the following to try and set up these options:
Outlook/Tools/E-Mail
Options/Advanced E-Mail Options and selecting "When New Items Arrive In My
Mailbox"/"Play A Sound" & "Show An Envelope Icon In The Notification Area".

I've noticed that when I make these selections and back out of all the
menus, the various "OK" buttons are "clickable", but the last menu
("Options") does not provide access to the "Apply" button, just the "OK
button. Could that be a factor? I've got sounds galore in other XP and
Office functions but no joy in Outlook as far as this notification feature
is concerned.
When I was using Outlook 2003 a month ago, I received the audio and envelope
notifications just fine.

I have also right-clicked on the system tray and chosen "customize
notifications". Upon doing so, the window that pops up indicates under "Past
Items" that I have previously selected "You Have New Unopened Items" and set
it for
"Always Show". Ditto for the "Volume Icon".

Other than write it off as a bug in the Beta 2 version, I'm stymied as to
what
to do next. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
