Is it possible to get IE6 to pop up a 'Message Received'
window whenever an email is received ?

That is not native to IE6. There may be a browser plugin that would do this
for you, though I haven't heard of one. There are plenty of free e-mail
checkers that run as small apps in your tray and display a message when new
e-mail arrives in your e-mail account, such as http://www.eprompter.com/.

Sure, if the web site's HTML opens another browser window (popup) when
it gets new mail. For example, they could run a script using a timer
that would auto-refresh what is painted (retrieved) to your browser to
add a new window if there happens to be new mail. If the site doesn't
do it, you won't get one. Since most webmail interfaces are static
(i.e., you have to do a refresh) to even see when there is new mail at
all, they obviously won't have any means of opening a popup based on a
server-side event, like new mail. All depends on WHO you use for
webmail.

No, because IE6 isn't a mail client, it's a browser. Many 3rd-party
email applications have the capability you seek, however. Take your pick.

What are these e-mail programs that would
acknowledge that
the message was looked at? That would sure be
handy to
know it was at least looked at.
Thanks!

None of them will. any kind of receipt request/acknowledgment can be
blocked/denied by the recipient.
