- Microsoft Mail for Windows, version 3.0
Microsoft Mail for Windows, version 3.0, has three ways of notifying
you that new mail has arrived:
- The mouse arrow turns into an envelope. For example, if you are in a
Windows application and new mail arrives, you'll see the arrow
momentarily change to an envelope, then back to an arrow. In other
words, the envelope flashes.
- When Mail is minimized and new mail arrives, you will notice letters
sticking out of the slot of the Mail icon. If the slot is empty, no
new mail has arrived.
- You can choose to have your computer sound a chime when new mail
arrives. To do this, choose Options from the Mail menu, then select
Sound Chime. If you have a sound board, you can choose the Sound icon
from the Windows Control Panel. You will see an options for New Mail
Notification where you can assign a .WAV sound file. Then your
computer will play the .WAV file when new mail arrives.
NOTE: Independent shareware developers have developed other methods of mail
notification. More information on this topic may be available from
