I've recently been trying to get desktop alerts working for every email that comes into Outlook regardless of what folder it's set to go to.

I have got this working by making a new "display a desktop alert" rule which is at the top of the rule list & will run for every email.

This does work, however it seems after a couple of emails have come through the desktop alert function will break all together. It doesn't even come up when I use the preview button in the desktop alert settings.

Once I have restarted Outlook the desktop alerts will then work for a few more emails.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Craig.
 
I've disabled all ESET notifications now - I get sent a fair few viruses which sometimes get past my server level spam filter for some reason (I really need to get a server level virus filter going).

It seems to have worked for my past few tests now.

Can anybody confirm that ESET does clash with Outlook desktop alert, or is it flukily working for now?

Windows 7 x64 with Office 2007 SP2 by the way.
