| Guest | Ms Mail Notification/Alert for Ms Windows Vista Home Premium?? Hi - How do you set this up, so that a "flag" appears next to the e-mail shortcut when mail arrives? I have set up a the mail alert sound but can't figure out how to do flag bit - I am sure this feature was part of Ms Express when I was using Windows XP Thanks, Peter |

| Guest | Re: Ms Mail Notification/Alert for Ms Windows Vista Home Premium?? You will have to set up a message rule: Tools, Message Rules, Mail. One of the selectable actions is "Flag it". -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "PETER RANDOLPH" <randolph59@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OFOsol15IHA.4988@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi - How do you set this up, so that a "flag" appears next to the e-mail > shortcut when mail arrives?

| Guest | Re: Ms Mail Notification/Alert for Ms Windows Vista Home Premium?? Sorry, I misunderstood your original question to refer to the flag column in the message list. Windows Mail puts a 'new e-mail' icon in the system tray (lower right corner). Is that what you are referring to? I don't know about any other flag. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "PETER" <randolph59@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:1D4AA21C-5D5E-4294-871E-044B3879380C@xxxxxx Quote: > ok - but how do you get the flag on the email shortcut on the status bar? > > Thanks > > Peter > "Gary VanderMolen" <Gary@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:OpOtcd25IHA.1592@xxxxxx Quote: >> You will have to set up a message rule: >> Tools, Message Rules, Mail. >> One of the selectable actions is "Flag it". >> >> -- >> Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) >> >> >> "PETER RANDOLPH" <randolph59@xxxxxx> wrote in message >> news:OFOsol15IHA.4988@xxxxxx Quote: >>> Hi - How do you set this up, so that a "flag" appears next to the e-mail >>> shortcut when mail arrives?

| Guest | Re: Ms Mail Notification/Alert for Ms Windows Vista Home Premium?? That is the Quick Launch bar. As far as I know, there is no way to have that icon alert for new incoming mail. I don't use the Windows Sidebar. I know all kinds of 'gadgets' have been developed for it, but I'm not familiar with those. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "PETER" <randolph59@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:ey%23DqAK6IHA.1420@xxxxxx Quote: > yes - although my e-mail shortcut appears on the left next to the windows > star button along the taskbar. if the flag can not be shown here to alert > new incoming mail can it be set up using the windows sidebar? > > Thanks > > Peter > > "Gary VanderMolen" <Gary@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:ONh0CrF6IHA.1196@xxxxxx > Sorry, I misunderstood your original question to refer to the flag > column in the message list. > > Windows Mail puts a 'new e-mail' icon in the system tray (lower right > corner).

| Guest | Re: Ms Mail Notification/Alert for Ms Windows Vista Home Premium?? yes - although my e-mail shortcut appears on the left next to the windows star button along the taskbar. if the flag can not be shown here to alert new incoming mail can it be set up using the windows sidebar?

| Guest | Re: Ms Mail Notification/Alert for Ms Windows Vista Home Premium?? Ok - so is there a simple way of setting an alert somewhere on the desktop for a user of ms mail when there is an incoming mail other than a "sound" which I have already set up? (ps.

| Guest | Re: Ms Mail Notification/Alert for Ms Windows Vista Home Premium?? No, not that I know of. You probably know that you can change that new mail notification sound with some other sound file that might be more attention getting. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "PETER" <randolph59@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:EF491D4D-5121-4368-BF1A-748C1DCE0BC6@xxxxxx Quote: > Ok - so is there a simple way of setting an alert somewhere on the desktop > for a user of ms mail when there is an incoming mail other than a "sound" > which I have already set up?
