Outlook can notify the user every time a new email is received in the Inbox folder. (On Mac it also shows the # of unread messages in the Inbox).
I have some server rules setup which makes certain emails go straight to a custom folder. I was wondering if there is an easy way to make Outlook do this before new messages in All folders or better yet, some customizable set of folders.
I am using Outlook 2011 on Mac.

I was also looking for a way to get a notification for a customizable set of folders in Outlook 2011 on Mac. Unfortunately there does not seem to be a free easy way to do it. I was able to purchase Growl ($1.99 on Mac App Store) and use this "outlook_growl_new_mail.zip" AppleScript along with a custom Outlook Rule to select the folders I wanted to watch:

You do not need to edit the AppleScript at all, just add an Outlook Rule and under "Do the following" select "Run AppleScript..." and choose the file.

Someone seems to have solved this issue elsewhere: See http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/notifications-in-outlook-for-mac-2011/b573a53f-0cd1-4da9-80ec-c72308e36070?auth=1

My Outlook 2011 on mac has no "Run AppleScript..." option in the rule actions. How do I enable this? – hughes – 2015-07-27T21:11:06.873
