Question About New Outlook Mail

Hi: I was trying the new version of outlook mail...it is not bad and i like the way it looks but there is one thing i could not figure out...Is there a way to get new mail alerts (when a new mail comes in) for both a sound and a pop up notification like you have on the old version of windows mail? (which works great) for both outlook and my gmail account that i have connected to both the old and new version...

If so, please describe how to get it set up...I am using Windows 10 by the way...
Thanks

Hi Brink and thank you for that excellent tutorial...

Unfortunately on my windows 10 laptop, while the old version of windows mail works great and i get both the sound alert and pop window when new emails come in, i have all the settings you illustrate in your tutorial but i am not getting the sound nor the pop up windows when new mail comes in...and i have no clue why that is...

Yep...i believe you are right...it is likely a bug...the other functions in it seem to work well... i may just go back to the old version for now... if i didn't get the sound in my cell phone i wouldn't know that a new email has arrived...

Brink...
i could not get the new Outlook mail to send the pop up and sounds when a new email comes in but wanted to let you know that i found a work around ... I use the Edge Browser and there is an Edge extension called Notifier for Gmail (Gmail is my main email account) I added it and pinned it to the task bar on top of the browser and it shows how many emails you have waiting and you get the same sound and alert pop up you get on the old windows mail

So...it works great and that will work fine for me and allows me to keep the Outlook email program...

The new Mail is definitely broken. It uses almost 500 Mb of memory!

The old Mail uses less than 30 Mb of memory.

Probably has a number of bugs...but i find that it does operate pretty well...
