How to get Outlook to alert me to new email?
Don't see any way to do it. I'm used to Thunderbird which makes configuring easy. What gives, Mr. Gates? (Oh yeah, you're a retired philanthropist now).

Have you looked at the sound properties for 'New Mail Notifiction'
How to change sounds in Windows 7 - Sounds - Change
No, I haven't; thanks for the tip. But what I really need is a visual cue, so I can just glance at the system tray as I cruise by.
Mr Gates may be a retired philanthropist, but he left instructions for his minions not to desert us. :)
Have a look here: Notify me when new messages arrive - Outlook - Office.com
One thing you could try that i don't think is mentioned in the link from seavixen32 (forgive me if it is and i missed it)
Display the envelope when you have unread messages?
Click on the little arrow on the notifications bar and select customize
Find this option, click the drop down box and select 'Show icons and notifications'
Click OK and that envolope should only appear while you have unread messages.
Hope this helps.
