New Message Notification

[Ken Neil]

I use Outlook 2003. When a new email message arrives, I
want either to have an icon show up in my system tray or a
box show up on my screen (you've got mail).

I have checked the box for the icon to appear, but nothing
happens.

I haven't found an option to choose for the box to appear -
and remain - on my screen.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Ken,

In Outlook 2003, you can go to Tools-> Options -> E-mail Options -> Advanced E-Mail Options to find settings on e-mail notification. You can play a sound, briefly change the mouse cursor, show an envelope in the notification area, and display a desktop alert.

If you click the Desktop Alert Settings command button, you can tell the alert to stay visible for as long as 30 seconds and you can tell it the transparency to make it more or less noticable.

I hope thats what you were after.
