Today’s Unread Mail Search FolderĪnother method to keep track of recently received emails is by using my previous tip of creating a “Today’s Unread Mail” Search Folder. For more information see: Separate rules for Exchange and POP3 accounts. Note: When you have multiple email accounts configured and depending on their account types, you may need to create the rule for each configured account or may need to use the condition “through the specified account” when you want to get an overview per account. Get your newly received e-mails in a handy overview.

If needed, move the "display a Desktop Alert" rule all the way to the top.

When prompted, press OK to acknowledge that this will be a client-only rule.

Specify a name for the rule and press Finish to complete the rule.

Click Next and then Next again to skip the exceptions dialog.

While you were gone you’ve received these e-mails:

Click the “a specific message” link at the bottom to type your custom message (this is handy if you create more than one rule that displays the New Item Alert window so that you can easily distinguish between them).

Select the action: display a specific message in the New Item Alert window.

Press "Yes" to indicate that that is correct.

A warning will pop-up stating that this rule will apply to all messages.

Verify that no condition is selected and press Next.

Press the New Rule… button and start with a blank rule:.

File-> section Info-> button: Manage Rules & Alerts.

This will show a dialog box with an overview of all the messages you have received since you last closed the dialog. The most suitable solution for this scenario is probably the “New Items Alerts” rule. However, there are other methods of getting notified of newly received messages while you were out, even if they were not being delivered to your Inbox. The envelope icon indeed only shows in the Notification Area or on the Outlook icon in the Task Bar when the message is being received in the Inbox folder and not when it is moved to a subfolder by for instance a rule.

Is there a way to get these alerts regardless of which folder a message has been received in? Having that information would really help me, especially when I'm away from my desk for a while.

However, it doesn't reveal how many new emails I have received nor does it show when I receive a message in a folder other than the Inbox. Whenever I receive a new email message in my Inbox, I can see the envelope icon in my Notification Area.
