| 1380321 | 2014-07-29 08:15:00 | Hi All, I am using MS Outlook for my emails. At the bottom bar, RH side is a Yellow Icon for emails. Is it possible to make this do something, flash perhaps, when a new email arrives? I had a look in tools & options but nothing leapt out at me. Thanks. PJ |

| 1380324 | 2014-07-29 08:33:00 | Can you recommend one? PJ Use the windows inbuilt. Depending on the Version of Outlook ( you didn't mention which) you can alter within Outlook. OR Open the control panel - Sound - Sounds Tab - Scroll down to "New Mail Notification" Set it to any of the inbuilt or if you want your own sound, download a sound in .wav and save it someplace, browse to the sound wave, select it. 5866 Different OS's / versions of Outlook have different options. office.microsoft.com Edited: if you want abit of fun, heres hundreds of free ones ( more on the left menu) www.sounds4email.com |

| 1380325 | 2014-07-29 09:13:00 | Wt...Unfortunately I always have the sound off. I am quite deaf. I am looking for a visual indicator, such as a flashing Icon. MS Outlook is 2007. PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 1380326 | 2014-07-29 10:21:00 | Ok didn't know that. What you can do is create a rule so when any new mail comes in a message will pop up , just had a play with www.howto-outlook.com worked quite well, with the exception of needed the reg key to be altered as the alert only displayed for about 5 seconds. Personally I just use mailwasher, you can close the email program and leave MW open, its checks email by default every 10 minutes or you can manually check/ alter the time. Has the added advantage that you can stop and dump all the rubbish before it comes in :) You can play about with teh rules, just altered the one I made, this message was showing 3 minutes later still. 5867 |
