Here’s a few step-by-step instructions to allow you to bring back that lovely (annoying) desktop alert for new mail. Users typically do not have this setup by default when they create an IMAP account in Outlook 2007. Whether it be IMAP to a private email or something popular like GMAIL this will work with.
This does not show you a preview but at least shows you the From and Subject of the email, which is good enough for me anyway.
