    Hello, thanks for reaching out.

    Is Outlook running while you’re expecting new mail alerts? If yes, open Outlook and go to File > Options > Mail, then under Message arrival, check “Show an envelope icon in the taskbar.” Also, in Windows Settings > System > Notifications, make sure Outlook notifications are turned on.

    If the icon still doesn’t show, go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Taskbar corner overflow, and turn on Outlook.

    In Outlook 365 the Notifications settings are in General. Go to Settings > General > Notifications > Notify me about. You have to enable mail notifications and then under New email enable Show an envelope badge in the taskbar.

    I found it by searching settings for envelope.

    Good luck!
