I want Outlook to display the new email envelope icon in the system tray only after a new email has been received and it is in unread state for more than X minutes (like 1 hour). Is there a way to achieve this? The reason I ask for this is to reduce distractions.

You could change the sync frequency, so that emails are only collected every hour. See Here: https://www.msoutlook.info/question/check-for-new-email-frequency

I have a client that does this to avoid the distraction of new mail. – I say Reinstate Monica – 2017-10-20T02:58:32.270
