    I recently setup Parallels with Windows XP. I'm running build 4.0.3810.

    I'm running this on a MacBook Pro with Spaces enabled. I like have my Windows environment full screen in a separate space and I can just jump back and forth as necessary. But it's a pain to have to remember to check every ten minutes to see if emails have arrived. A killer feature for me would be for Parallels to be able to pass a notification through Growl when I get a new message in my company Outlook inbox.

    I've searched these forums and google but haven't found much info. I saw that this announcement from Nov '08 said it's supported: http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=31254&highlight=growl

    But this thread claims the feature was disabled in later builds: http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=32106&highlight=growl

    Does anyone know any info about this? Is there a way to enable Growl support that I'm missing? Is it coming soon? Thanks for the help!!

    Sorry for the bump, but I thought I'd give it one more shot to see if anyone has any tips on activating Growl for Parallels (specifically, Outlook within Parallels). Thanks.
