Outlook Email new message icon

Can I get this back?

I have just started using ObjectDock Plus this week and I really like it.  The only thing that's missing for me is the Outlook "new email" icon which, before ObjectDock, used to appear in my system tray near the clock.  Now that I am using ObjectDock and have my old taskbar and system tray hidden, I have to maximize the Outlook program to see if i have a new message.  If there is an easy way that I can set up a new mail notification signal in my ObjectDock please let me know.  For me, this is the only thing i've wanted to do that I can't figure out yet.  Thanks.

There are several docklets that are user made on Wincustomize you could try out.

Here are some of the icons and docklets I am refering to:

Well, I downloaded and unzipped a set of icons from that site.  However I have no idea what to do next to make this functional as my email notifier.  May I please have some direction?  Thanks...

Well a good deal of them are just icons. You need a mail docklet for Object Dock. Here is an example of a docklet:

You would install something like this to the Object dock directory:  C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Docklets

Then right click on the dock and go to settings. Click on the Docklet tab and add the desired docklet. I'm certain a good deal of tweaking and setting adjustment will have to take place for your individual settings on your computer and email accounts.
