You might want to try this: free utility Mailcall 2 (from PCMag) at: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,353,00.asp It can be used to pre-scan mail while its still on the server and allows you to configure filters with a different WAV file played for each filter satisfied. If you make a couple of recordings you can have (forinstance): Personal mail for Alec - has Alec or Burgess in it Bounceback mail from Yahoo - from my address but to: any Yahoo-group Regular mail - everything else. You can also choose to have a pop-up showing headers and allowing viewing of details and headers only for certain classes of mail. All this gets done before TBat downloads mail from the server. Just make sure MailCall runs more frequently than TBat. It also displays a count of new mail received in the systray icon. Basic scheme: let Mailcall do a prelimanary analysis playing a sound as requested, then let TBat do the heavy lifting of executing any more detailed filtering. Regards ...
