Under Tools->Options->Preferences Tab-->Email Options->Advanced, do you have
the box checked to show new mail notifications?

| Thank you.

Is it still not visible if you expand the Notification Area?

If the file gets moved to another folder by means of a rule you must specify
the action to show the Notification

Hi!
Thank you for your reply.
I did not move anything to another folder. It is about situation when new
e-mail message is coming to INBOX folder & there is no notification - no
sound and no envelope. All options in the TOOLS-OPTIONS-EMAIL
OPTIONS-ADVANCED... are set. The sound volume is normal, not muted,playing
WAV and other sound files OK.
I'm not only one who is complaining about the same issue - there are many
inquiries on the internet, but ... no solution.
Thanks again.

Just a quick question. Have you gone into Control Panel > Sounds and Audio
Devices > Sounds > New Mail Notification and made sure a sound was selected?
HTH.

HAS ANYONE FOUND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM?

I HAVE SEVERAL USERS WHO ALL NEED THE SOUND NOTIFICATIONS.

I HAVE CHECKED THE CORRECT BOXES IN OUTLOOK (TOOLS > EMAIL OPTIONS >
ADVANCED EMAIL OPTIONS > PLAY A SOUND), AND IN CONTROL PANEL (SOUNDS &
AUDIO DEVICES > SOUNDS TAB > NEW MAIL NOTIFICATION).

I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THIS KIND OF FEATURE WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO
MICROSOFT TO ENSURE THAT THEY OFFERED A PRODUCT THAT WAS USABLE BY
PEOPLE WITH DISABLITIES LIKE IMPAIRED VISION!
