Sure. What type of email account?

You can use a rule to popup a new message alert or, for most accounts in most versions, display an envelope icon, play a sound, and in 2003 and up, popup the Desktop Alert. IMAP and Hotmail Connector are often problematic though. Messages moved to other folders on the server (IMAP and Exchange) won't trigger the new message alerts or rules when you download them.
 
Diane, you're talking to an "idiot" ( : at least in terms of IMAP etc. I'm

ok otherwise, and still at simplistic level of Outlook (2010).

I have Comcast.net, but I have a feeling you're asking me more than that as

to "type" of email account.

Protocol question: Jim was kind enough to reply to me, but my original

question came back to me as if I had sent it to myself. In general, should I

always hit "Reply All" as opposed to "Reply"?

You can use a rule to popup a new message alert or, for most accounts in

most versions, display an envelope icon, play a sound, and in 2003 and up,

popup the Desktop Alert. IMAP and Hotmail Connector are often problematic

though. Messages moved to other folders on the server (IMAP and Exchange)

won't trigger the new message alerts or rules when you download them.
 
Reply will send it to the list only, reply to all may include your address too (it doesn't for me). You may get copies of all mail you send to the list (unless you use gmail) -this will come from the yahoo servers.

I don't know if Comcast supports imap - go to File, Account Settings, and look to the right of the Comcast account name in the list - does it say POP3 or IMAP?

Check File, Options, Mail - near the top are the new mail alert options. Are the options selected?

See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/2010/outlook-2010s-new-mail-icon/, especially if you use Windows 7 as it hides the envelope icon that is normally in the tray. Right click on the Outlook icon (may be the orange O or 2 envelopes being mail if outlook is checking mail). Is Show new desktop alert enabled? Desktop alerts are the little blue windows that come up on screen. (screenshots here: http://www.outlook-tips.net/tips/tip-245-outlook-2003s-desktop-alerts-settings/)

Final option is with rules - you can either show the blue desktop alert for specific messages or an ugly gray window dialog that will stay up until you close it. You would use the desktop alert rule if you turn all alerts in Outlook options and only want to show alerts for certain email. The ugly gray alert rule is used for important email, independent of the Outlook options.
 
Rules will also allow you to allocate sounds to received messages.

You won't want to do this in a large office, but on your own it can help to

now that you have received a message from a particular source.

Then again, I don't know if you want an notification for all email or just

some of it.
