I was able to change the default Data Files folder to the Live account.
However, this did not enable Desktop Alerts for that account. Any other
thoughts?


I suspect, then, that the Outlook Connector transport doesn't allow desktop
alerts.

Default Outlook Connector - Sound Notification Setup

This article has also helped me. I now have audio and visual alert for my
hotmail messages. However all my mails are coming into Outlook Connector
account even the ones that should go to my Outlook mail account. How do i get
them going to the respective intended e-mail accounts.

Default Outlook Connector - Sound Notification Setup

I started receiving desktop alerts from my Live account. I'm not sure how,
though. However, all of my calendar items are now being sent to my Live
calendar instead of Outlook.

It seems very strange to me that Live Mail, a free, lightweight email
program, has more customizability than premium software.

Depends on your version of Outlook and I don't see where you mention that.
With Outlook 2003 and earlier, you'd have to use a rule (and I think rules
work for Connector folders that are set as delivery location). For Outlook
2007, you can choose the Inbox for the incoming messages oin a per-account
basis.
