In my previous version of Outlook (2007) the little yellow envelope only appeared in my system tray if there were new emails in my Inbox. I like that behavior because a lot of the mail I filter to other folders does not need to be read immediately, cannot be read immediately, and I don't even want to know about it. I just want to know about new emails that stay in my inbox, as those are the important ones. Is there a way with Outlook 2013 to only see that envelope when an email is directed to (or stays in) my Inbox folder? Right now the notifications feature is worthless to me, it's always on in my system tray because its scope is far too wide.
 
Outlook 203 *should* work the same way. You could set client side rules to mark messages as read, or try to change the rules so they are server side - if mail is moved on the server it should never show you the mail icon.
