Rule for messages from Hotmail account not executing
After researching on this forum I found out that the new mail envelope
notification icon will only work on the Inbox of the default account. So as to be notified of new mail to my Hotmail account (which is not my default account) I created a rule that will play a sound and display a desktop alert. When I test it by clicking on "Run Now" it works great. But it does not actuallly execute after selecting apply. I've tried restarting Outlook, deleting the rule and creating a new one and I can't seem to get it to work. I'm using Outlook 2007 w/SP2 and Outlook Connector 12.1 (latest release) and Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit. Any ideas? Much thanks, David |

Didn't you ask this same question in another group (the .general one, I think)? I answered you there. Please don't multipost. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Rule for messages from Hotmail account not executing
Mr. Tillman...
No, I did not ask this question in another group. You may have answered this question for someone else but not for me. I guess I will just do a search through the other groups to find the answer. I didn't intend to ruffle any feathers. My apologies, David "Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: "dtgVA" wrote in message ...

news No, I did not ask this question in another group. You may have answered this question for someone else but not for me. I guess I will just do a search through the other groups to find the answer. I didn't intend to ruffle any feathers. It appeared to be exactly the same question. Since you say you didn't ask before, then I'll answer. Rules and Alerts don't work for Outlook Connector accounts unless you make the Live folders the delivery location.
