To get Outlook.com email notifications on your desktop, download this free utility called Howard. It’s available for both Windows and OS X. Once it’s installed you’ll get a notification from the system tray when you get new messages.
Right-click the icon and go to “Settings” to change how often it checks for mail and how notifications are displayed.
Outlook.com doesn’t give you unread mail count on the taskbar icon because it is designed to be used in conjunction with the desktop Outlook app. Outlook on the web is not designed to be a replacement for the desktop Outlook app. Comment Name * Email *
