New mail notifications for Outlook additional mailboxes

I use multiple mailboxes in Outlook.

My primary mailbox is [email protected]

But I also have additional mailboxes e.g. [email protected], [email protected]

Now whenever I get a mail in my inbox, [email protected], I get a notification - a small blue box with the topic and name of sender is displayed on the lower right corner of my monitor for a few seconds.

Is it possible to apply that form of alert to other mailboxes, like [email protected]?

I want to make clear though, I can't just autoforward the mails from that inbox to my own. it would create more problems than solutions to mix the inboxes like that.

I've attempted to look through the possible settings on the inbox '[email protected]' can't seem to find anywhere to turn on notifications or alerts.


You can accomplish this by setting up a rule in the relevant mailbox:

  1. In the Rules and Alerts dialog, click New Rule...

  2. Select Apply rule on messages I receive then click Next:
