XCLN: Mail Notifications Not Received for Each New Message
This article was previously published under Q166995
Even though new mail notification has been enabled, you may not
be notified of each new incoming message.
By product design, the Microsoft Exchange Client is hardcoded to wait two
minutes between displaying the new mail notification window. This design
was based on customer feedback from the Microsoft Exchange Server beta
program. This value cannot be modified.
An Inbox rule can be created that will display a pop-up dialog box for
every incoming message. For this message to display properly, the rule must
be profile-specific, which means an identical rule needs to be created on
any computer running Microsoft Exchange Client.
To initiate notification of every incoming e-mail message, perform the
following steps:
- On the Tools menu, click Inbox Assistant.
- In the Inbox Assistant dialog box, click Add Rule.
- In the Edit Rule dialog box, click to select the Alert With check box,
and then click Action.
- In the Alert Actions dialog box, click to select the Notify With The
Text or the Play check box, if it is not already selected.
If you select Notify With The Text, type the text to be displayed
in the notification dialog box.
If you select Play, click Sound, choose the sound file to be played, and
then click Test.
- Click OK to close all dialog boxes.
NOTE: You can enable new mail notification by clicking Options on
the Tools menu, clicking the General tab, and then selecting "When new mail
arrives, display a notification message."

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
