I'm after the notification option in particular where an animation will play upon receipt of email... as opposed to a poxy little mail symbol and token sound indicating new email. Cheers, Lo.

You can easily change your ding-dong sound notification to something more exotic. Depending on which OS you have, there will be a variety of WAV files just sitting on your system that you can use instead. Go to Control Panel > Sounds and Multimedia > Sounds Tab. Scroll down to "New mail notification", highlight and then click browse. Check out what WAV's you have and pick one. You can preview the sound by clicking on the preview or play arrow beside the browse button. If none of those take your fancy, you can download some off the internet. A search on google for email notification sounds will bring up heaps. This site here (http://emailsounds.phatster.com/) has a variety, but basically any short WAV file will do the trick. Just having an interesting email notification sound is not the same as a animated dancing cat or whatever, but a least it tarts it up Outlook Express a bit :-) Jen	Jen C (20)
