how can i keep OE active with out having it open on my desktop? I

[Guest]

i want to use OE. But i do want to have a icon on my desktop or tool bar
showing it is active. I also would like to know how to play a sound when mail
arrives. I should think a way to have it in a tool bar at the bottom would be
a way to make this work. But when I close the the icon on the desktop then OE
quits working. If it would work like yahoo mail does it would be great.

For Outlook Express support, you'll want to ask in the
microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general newsgroup.

Since you're also using the web based newsreader rather than outlook
express, you might want to use

(or, since you're using Outlook Express for mail, look at the steps in
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/community/columns/newsgroups101.mspx for
how to set up OE to use the microsoft newsgroup server).
