In outlook 2007 I use an hotmail account without connect.
My hotmail account is an old one and outlook supports it with no problems.

However, although I did the settings for, I do not hear a sound or don't see
any email icon when a new message arrives.

Why not?

Because new message notification is not supported for HTTP accounts.
