Most financial advisors receive scores of emails daily. If you’re trying to work on an important issue and one of these notification pops up, you can easily click on the notification and start  answering your email even though it may not be that important.  It's just too enticing.

To rid yourself of this distraction in Outlook 2010 and 2013, in the main menu click on File, then Options and Mail. Below is a screen shot of the check boxes you will want to uncheck to remove these alerts.
