Hi,
I had Growl for windows ste up, and installed the app on my iphone,
set the API key right on the software and configured the iphone on the
"network" tab.
I did recieve a test notification, but I don't recieve mail
notification (of my Outlook).
what should I do?
thanks.

can you verify that you are getting Growl notifications from Outlook
on your desktop? if they are not even getting that far, then they will
not be able to be forwarded to Prowl.

if you are getting Outlook Growl notifications on your desktop, then
it comes down to configuration. make sure the notifications are
configured properly on the Applications tab. if you have set the Prowl
forwarding to only forward for certain priorities or only when idle,
that will also restrict when notifications are forwarded.

review all of your settings and if you still cant get it to work
(assuming you are getting notifications in the first place), take a
screenshot of your Applications tab (with the Outlook notifications
selected) and your Network tab (with the Prowl settings selected) and
post them up here and i will see what i can see.

your response in another thread said that you do not receive
notifications on your desktop either. if you are not getting any
Outlook notifications on your desktop, then the problem is upstream
from the Growl/Prowl forwarding. either the notifications are not
being sent to Growl, or Growl is not receiving them. here are the
things you can check:

1. do you have the Growl Outlook plugin installed?
http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/plugins/outlook
that is needed to get Outlook to send notifications to Growl
2. does Outlook show up in the list of registerd applications on
Growl's Applications tab?
if not, make sure Growl is running, then shutdown Outlook and
restart it. Outlook should register automatically when it is started.
3. Are the notification preferences properly configured? Make sure
Enabled is set to True and that a valid display (or [Default]) is
selected for the Display preference.

since you got the test notification forwarded to your phone, then the
Growl/Prowl forwarding is working correctly. once you can get the
original problem (no desktop notifications) figured out, the
notifications should be properly forwarded to your phone.

Hi,
OK, it works now, thank you.
I didn't have the Outlook add-in.
Can't I reply for those mails that I get to my Iphone directly from Prowl?
