Outlook 2010 will not show notification envelope for IMAP accounts (which is a horrible bug IMO but that's the reality right now), are there any good add-ons that would "fix" this? I'm primarily after something that could add an envelope in the sys tray as Outlook 2007 used to do out of the box.

... but it doesn't answer the question. I am not after a desktop alert but after some kind of permanent notification like Outlook can do for Exchange accounts. – Borek Aug 17 '10 at 10:08

Mail Alert provides this functionality although it's not free.
