    Help with email notification windows mail

    Windows Mail, if it is not open already, will NOT notify you of anything.
    Did you look in the Junk Mail folder?
    Did you check at the website log-in for your mail account, to see if mail
    exists there?

    Do you have mail accounts elsewhere on the web etc?

    OK, did you do the other thing that I suggested? :

    "Did you check at the website log-in for your mail account, to see if mail
    exists there?"

    It might be a good idea to set WM leave a copy of messages on the server?

    Tools>accounts>select your account>properties>advanced tab, also set it to
    delete from server after a sensible number of days.

    That way you will see it on the server even after WM downloads, and eats it.
