Does your sound card work? Do you get other system sounds? If you change
the new mail notification sound to another sound file, does it work?

yes, I get the reminder tone for overdue tasks and such
but no new mail sound and no little envelope in the system
tray.

yes, everything is configured correctly. I had been using
Outlook Express before changing over to Outlook. Could
there be a conflict?

No conflict that I've heard of, especially if only one is running at a
time.

Does the new mail notification show up if you run Outlook in its safe
mode ("outlook.exe /safe")? That will load Outlook without any plug-ins
(Tools -> Options -> Other -> Advanced).

Do you actually get new mail (but without the notification)? Or do you
see new mail pending in your account using a webmail interface but
cannot retrieve it using Outlook?

You could try running Repair under the Tools menu.

Thanx for the reply. I get new mail within Outlook, that
is, the mail just shows up with no sound and no little
envelope in the system tray. I will try both safe mode and
repair. Thanx for the puts.
