I also checked the same taskbar and notifications settings on that PC that you asked about previously. The Windows 7 PC and hard drive were totally wiped last year and Win7 was reinstalled with no programs - no email - no anything, so there shouldn't be anything preventing taskbar notifications from working on that PC, and yet, no taskbar notifications of new email show up on that PC either. Your message has me wondering if I need to put more effort into making sure Outlook is completely disabled. I'm confident that Windows Live Mail was completely uninstalled - but I'm not certain that Outlook was completely disabled - as it can't be uninstalled completely - at least not without uninstalling all of MS Office (that's if I understand it correctly). Before that, I was using Windows Live Mail. However, before Thunderbird, I had tried Outlook from MS Office 2013. Messages are not being read first on a phone.
