Anyone know of a good utility for Outlook '07 to display a notification for IMAP messages?

I assume you have Outlook set up for your mail account?

Click on tools, options then mail setup

Now click on Send/Receive and put check marks in
"Schedule an automatic send/receive every _ min"

And click close, Now for this to work, you will have to have outlook open or sitting in taskbar so that it can check on schedule you set

No no no,, I'm talking about the notifications in the botom corner, Outlook only notifies on the Default inbox, and its not the set default, it's the default personal folders... but only POP messages go to that inbox, because they are the only ones that are actually downloaded.

I know there are some addons/plugins out there but I can't find them.

Here are some apps for notification
Taskbar Imap Notification - Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo Email Notification Tool Email Notification for POP3, IMAP (SSL), MAPI (http://taskbar-imap-notification.qarchive.org/)

If you go to Google and Google - outlook addons, 1.5 mil hits

Don't know of one specific, hopefully someone will be able to post name of addon which you refer

Sound like you might just need a 3rd party app unless it's there and just not taking

I don't know its really anoying, it should be poping up, I know that it works, because I get it for a different account, so if its set it SHOULD work... GRR

Even outlook help says for imap use rules for notification...

I GOT IT!! No addons, Orignaly I set the rule for items with my address in the TO or CC lines, I changed it to all messages, by not checking anything, and WA LA, I now get the popups in the corner,,

So if anyone is wondering, for IMAP notification, just set a rule for all messages to display and it Should work.

Thanks SEA
