And I would do the same...what my wife likes (or liked) about incredimail was the little always-on-top desktop icon that showed up when she had new mail. I guess it's easier to look over and see a 2" high cartoon anvil with the word "Mail" written on it sitting in the middle of the screen. Ahh, the things we do for love...

If you simply go to Start/Settings/Sounds you should be able to select a sound that Windows will play for you when mail arrives. I downloaded the old AOL "You've got mail" sound clip (even though I don't use AOL) and set the "New Mail Notification" to use that mp3 file. **** [EMAIL PROTECTED] <Carl Jolley> **** All opinions are my own and not necessarily those of my employer **** _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
