Are You An Email Junkie?
|
By

Are you an e-mail junkie? Most of us won't admit it,
but you know who you are!
Many of us check our email a hundred times a day
(maybe not quite that much) so wouldn't it be easier
to have your e-mail check itself?
You
can actually
do that with Outlook Express! You can set your
e-mail to check every one minute or every hour.
Whatever you want! All you have to do is:
-
Open Outlook
Express and go to
Tools,
-
Go to
Options
and choose the
General
tab.
-
Look toward the
middle of the box under the
Send/Receive
Messages
section.
-
The very last
choice there is "Check
for new messages every (blank) minutes."
Check that box and then choose the amount of
time you want your e-mail to be checked.
You can either use the up and down arrows to set
your time or just type it in. Then right below that,
there is an option if your computer isn't connected
to the Internet at the time of the scheduled check.
You can either choose for it to not connect you,
connect only when working offline or connect even
when working offline. This is usually for those with
dial-up connections.
New email notification sound
Stay
really connected to your email by applying a sound
each time a new email message is received. In
Windows XP:
-
Go to Start
-
Go to Control Panel
-
Click on "Sounds Speech and Audio Devices"
-
Click on "Change the Sound Scheme"
-
Under "Program Events" scroll down until
you come to "New Mail Notification".
Click on it to confirm what sound is applied or
change the sound by clicking on "browse" to find
a new sound.
Now
you'll be able to stay on top of your email whenever
you're on or near your computer. It doesn't get
easier than that!
