I created a few rules for Microsoft Outlook 2010, that specific mails go to specific folders. This works fine, but I don't get an alert in system tray when I have new mails.
Is there a way to fix this?
Click the Home tab and click Rules in the Move group. Select Manage Rules & Alerts from the dropdown list. On the Email Rules tab, click New Rule, which will launch the Rules Wizard. In the first pane, select the Apply Rule On Messages I receive option (Figure A) and click Next.

Select File > Options > Mail. Under Message arrival, select or clear the Display a Desktop Alert check box and then select OK.

I just added the Outlook 2013 part, because this old question/problem is still relevant in the current version where I use this mechanism successfully.
According to the sources I've listed below, this seems to not be possible, and it seems to be expected behavior of MS Office since 2007.
