New Mail Options

This facility requires a Javascript-enabled browser.

This options page lets you customise the New Mail notification function. Among its features are displaying the alert in a pop-up window, and playing a sound.

Check all boxes, not just INBOX

The Check all boxes, not just INBOX option checks ALL of your folders for unseen mail, not just the Inbox.

Please note: the more folders you are subscribed to, the longer the notification process will take. Be especially aware of this if you are subscribed to lots of 'List Archive' folders.

Count only messages that are RECENT

Use the Count only messages that are RECENT option to check only for messages that are recent. Recent messages are those that have recently arrived and have not been viewed or checked yet. This can prevent being continuously annoyed by sounds or pop-ups for unseen mail.

Change title on supported browsers

Selecting the Change title on supported browsers option changes the title in some browsers to let you know when you have new mail. This will always tell you if you have new mail, even if you have Count only messages that are RECENT enabled.

Please note: this option requires Javascript, and only works in Internet Explorer, but you will not see errors with other browsers.

Show popup window on new mail
