Question: When an email is received, Outlook 2010 creates an envelop in notification area. But when my emails are moved by a rule to some folder other than standard inbox, I dont get a notification in system tray. Is there any way to fix this?

Answer: 
It has been a long time since I encountered this problem, so I may be slightly wrong about the details but, if I remember correctly, that notification icon only works with emails arriving in the main inbox folder for the primary email address. I did not get them for emails that were moved into other folders using rules, or for other address inboxes.

The solution I found to these Outlook deficiencies is [**Bettasoft Mail Alert**](http://www.bettasoft.net/mailalert), which provides a number of flexible options. It costs $6.95, but there is a free trial.
Are you using large or small icons on your taskbar? If you are using small icons, the notification does not work.
