This did the trick for me. Unchecked option for “Use small taskbar buttons” in Taskbar properties.

Thank you Anand, you are a true Windows Ninja!

Please take note that the above setting for envelope icon only applies to all mail going into Inbox folder only. Any mails going into folders other than Inbox (Junk mail or sub-folders created with rules), there would not be any envelope icon alerts – no solution to this at all as of now… This also apply to New Mail Desktop alert – in order to mitigate this, users have to create a rule for folders other than Inbox to receive a New Mail Desktop alert for emails going to sub-folders… I wonder why don Ms Outlook apply the same alert setting to all folders instead of creating a different rule for folders other than Inbox… This is silly…
