Guide Review - New Mail Notifier 2.06 - Outlook Add-On
Outlook does have a new mail notification feature, all right. But the plain tray icon is not very useful. New Mail Notifier, by contrast, adds new mail notification functionality to Outlook that is really useful.
When new mail comes in, New Mail Notifier pops up an unobtrusive window displaying the sender, subject and part of the body of the new message. Not only do you know instantly what new mail has come in, but you can also operate on the message immediately from New Mail Notifier: opening the message, replying, forwarding and (most importantly) deleting all take only one click.
To make sure it doesn't annoy you, New Mail Notifier can announce only certain senders' mail and ignore messages filtered by anti-spam tools.
