Hi,

I am in an office where we have Outlook 2002 & Outlook
2003. We pull our emails off of a pop 3 server, and we
would like to get that little box showing up in the
middle of the screen notifying us of new messages. The
box forces you to click yes or no. It was available in
Outlook 2000, but does not seem to be avaialbe in 2002 or
2003.

Any hints or help would be great.

Thanks

Rob

It is turned on, but it only gives for Outlook 2002 an
envelope in the taskbar, and for Outlook 2003 a little
pop up that last for a max of 30 seconds. We need
something that will stay in front of the user until they
say yes or no.

Thanks

With Outlook 2002, I thought the alert window stayed up indefinitely. For
OL 2003, you can't make it stay up indefinitely. You can, however, take a
different approach. Create a rule that runs for all mail. The only action
to this rule would be the "display a specific message in the alert window"
action or the "display a desktop alert" action. That alert will stay on the
desktop until you click it, I believe.
