Alerts on incoming e-mails are only message ends up in Inbox

Hi,
In Outlook 2007 I can configure alerts "When a new item arrives in the
Inbox". But strangely if I have a filter that routes a message to another
folder, even if this is a subfolder of the Inbox alert is not played. It
would be ideal if alert is played on every incoming e-mail but just
sub-folders of the inbox would be good enough.
