I cannot get Outlook to notify me (with a message or a tiny envelope) when I

"Display a New Mail Desktop Alert" checkbox under Desktop Alert Settings. I
dont have that box. I am only able to change the duration and the
transparency there. Anybody have any suggestions?

I had tried this already but it didn't work. Turning off the Firewall
restores functionality though so what could I be doing wrong? Can anybody
point me to exact instructions? I put in an exception in the Windows firewall
for Outlook, is there something different I need to do?

I forgot I had done the registry change as well and that didn't help either.
I messed around some more and added a UDP exception on Port 527 I think and
then it worked. I played around some more and sometimes it worked and
sometimes it didn't. I'll just have to see. On the other computers I just
added the Outlook exception and it works fine do far so who knows what crazy
Windows problem was stopping it for me the first time. I'll just have to
cross my fingers.
