Well, in such scenarios it be would be great if the mistaken email could be recalled and replaced. Thus, in this blog, we have shown you how to recall an email in Outlook 2016 in few simple steps.
I've been asked many times over the years how to get Outlook (up to 2010 anyway) to display a desktop notification for mail that arrives in any folder (due to incoming mail rules), as the in-built 'New Mail Desktop Alert' will only display for mail that is delivered directly to the Inbox.
You could apply the 'display a Desktop Alert' action to all of your existing rules, but that will make those rules into Local rules that will only run while Outlook is open, which isn't good for rules you need to have run at the server (i.e.: forwarding mail).
This How-to covers a way to create a generic Outlook rule that will make notifications display for any incoming mail, regardless of (and without affecting) other existing rules.

Step 1: In Outlook, create a new blank rule

Navigate to Tools -> Rules and Alerts…

Navigate to the Home tab -> Move group -> click Rules -> Manage Rules & Alerts…

Select 'Start from a blank rule' and ensure that 'Check messages when they arrive' (or 'Apply rule on messages I receive' in 2010) is selected.
Click Next.
Step 3: Verify Conditions
