Mail Alerts

[aidee12]

Can anyone tell me how I can receive a mail alert while working in another
program
eg Browsing the internet etc.. I only receive alerts when I open WinMail.
Incredimail used to have a notifier interupt any program to announce
'you've got mail'.
I have ticked all the boxes in 'Options'

WM does not have this capability, it must be opened to receive mail.
Some third party add on programs allow this capability, but I do not recall
the names of them.

No program can do something when it is not executing.

I am not sure what you are asking for. You say "mail alert"; if you need to
receive email when an event happens, such as an earthquake or a good deal or
something that someone wants to give away, then you need to find a web site
that offers services such as that. You also say "notifier interupt any
program", which is totally different from a "mail alert". Note that very few
programs are designed to respond to an interruptions such as that.

If you can clarify what you want, it might be possible but it is difficult
to understand what you are asking for.

You can minimize Windows Mail to the taskbar. If that doesn't suit you,
there is an add-on to minimize it to a tray icon:

In any case, it has to be running to check for new mail.
