Outlook doesn't notify me on new IMAP E-mails

I have set the desktop notifications to on, but Outlook fails to notify me
when a new E-Mail is present in my IMAP inbox. It of course does notify me on
new E-mails from the Live connector, but it really should notify me on new
IMAP E-mails!

You could make it notify you with a rule for that account whose only action is
to display a desktop alert. Otherwise, I don't believe IMAP accounts allow
notification of new messages.

Thanks for the *suggestion* (which is NOT a question) - except this is
Usenet despite the pretense of a forum and is not a free venue for support
from Microsoft. We *users* here are to guess WHICH version of Outlook? Or
WHICH version of Windows?

Google works:

--- Posting Hints ---

ALWAYS REVIEW your message before submitting it. You want someone OTHER
than yourself to understand your post. Also remember that no one here is
looking over your shoulder to see at what you are pointing. If you don't
well explain your situation by providing the details that you already know,
don't expect others to know what is your situation. Explain YOUR computing
environment and just what actions you take to reproduce the problem.

Often you get just one chance per potential respondent to elicit a reply
from them. If they skip your post because you gave them nothing to go on
(no details, no versions, no OS, no context) then they will usually move on
to the next post and never return to yours.

What is Usenet:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsgroups
http://www.masonicinfo.com/newsgroups.htm
http://www.mcfedries.com/Ramblings/usenet-primer.asp

When using a webnews-for-dummies interface, like Microsoft's Communities or
Google Groups or a forum-to-Usenet proxy, those are gateways to Usenet.
Despite the appearance of a forum, you are participating in a newsgroup (aka
Usenet).

Regarding error or status messages:

- Do show the ENTIRE message (but munge or star out personal info,
like your username in an e-mail address but not the domain).
