How do I turn OFF the annoying "You've Got Mail" announcement?

[Guest]

Does anyone know how to turn OFF the "You've Got Mail" announcement in
Outlook 2003?

 

[Rob]

Go To "Tools", "Options", "Email Options", "Advanced Email Options", &
uncheck "Display a New Mail Desktop Alert"

Does it say that? if so, that's a new mail sound in control panel, sounds.

Rob, thanks. But it's already unchecked.

Go To "Tools", "Options", "Email Options", "Advanced Email Options", &
uncheck "Display a New Mail Desktop Alert"

I tried turning off all sounds in the Sounds Control Panel...and it STILL
says it! Sometimes it's "You've got one mails", sometimes it's "You've got
six mails"...depending upon how many new email messages I have. Weird....I'm
running Office 2003.

is that the only thing that talks? there is a text to speech tool, but it
would read all dialogs, not just new mail.

Yes, that's the only time something "talks"! I cannot believe that my
computer simply has a poltergeist! There must be a way to shut this guy up!

Diane, I found the answer in another thread. It turns out it *is* a Toshiba
thing...Very annoying. Many thanks for the help.

You have a Toshiba computer, I'll bet, and it's a product called "Toshiba
Voice". In Outlook, click Tools>Options>Other>Advanced Options>Add-In
Manager. Uncheck "Mail Speak (TOSHIBA)".
